- We want to work with other social and climate groups in the Netherlands and worldwide, and to encourage them to do the same. Our goal is to build a movement for social and environmental justice. Solidarity between groups is paramount, and if this helps to grow XR, that's fine, but not our main focus.
- We make decisions and guide major national cooperations when a clear position of XR is needed, especially with NGOs, based on previous experiences.
- We are a meeting place for people involved in collaborative projects, acting as a hub in a network to connect people, to share knowledge and to create a sense of community between movements. Not everyone working with XR needs to be part of our cooperation circle, similar to the Action Circle and not the Strategy Circle.
- Active cooperation projects to promote the goal of climate justice, especially with grassroots groups.
- Support others in XR who want to cooperate with other movements, in a reactive way rather than proactively. We provide advice and do not consent.
- Promote and encourage others in XR to pursue collaborations.
- Ideally offer educational options for XR members on how to work together. At present this is difficult because of capacity problems, but it could be a future project.
- Funge as a central point of contact for groups wishing to cooperate with XR.
- On behalf of XR, sign cases or provide a structure for decision-making, for example a decision-making tree.
- Occasionally give input to XR's external coverage on specific issues that affect our relationships with other groups.
- We do not have stable subcircles, but create temporary working groups for specific projects.
- Most of us work on collaborative projects (i.e. with other movements) in groups of 1-3 people, rather than working on projects within the circle itself (although this happens occasionally).
There are no requirements for joining the cooperation circle. We welcome everyone and we will find out what best suits you. Interested? Send us a message through one of the communication channels.
Weekly meetings with the full circle are held to discuss ongoing cooperation projects, to take national decisions and to deal with various issues that come to our circle.
