Had a great time yesterday on the webinar call thing to Transition US. It lasted about 75 minutes and we covered lots of things. We’ll be doing it again in September but for now, click here to hear the recording of the event. The very end is especially good, when you can hear lots of the callers saying goodbye… lovely that was… Thanks to everyone who organised it, especially Carl, Carolyne and Richard.
We had a great few days at Hope University in Liverpool. This will not be an attempt at a complete document of that event, you will find the most comprehensive record over at the Transition Network’s conference feed. What I am going to share, with links to some of the key pieces of media from that feed, is some of the notes of my reflections at the end of the conference. As the event drew to a close, I went around and asked people for their brief reflections on what they saw as the character unique to this conference in comparison to others. Three words came up again and again, deepening, focus and maturity.
Local Transition groups put in a strong showing at Hillbrook school's local Sustainability Day, Brisbane, Australia.
It’s time for the monthly roundup of all things Transition from across the globe. We’ll start down under in Brisbane, Australia where a Sustainability Day was held at a school in Hillbrook. The all-day event included music, speakers, practical demonstrations and workshops. Local Transition groups were one of many represented at the event which encouraged people to connect, enjoy and celebrate the school’s 25th year.
Lovely little film from New Zealand about the recent earthquake, community and resilience. A powerful reposte to those who argue that in difficult times people become more selfish and turn on each other. Beautiful.
Here’s a guest blog from Naresh Giangrande on his recent trip to France.
Snow capped mountains and broad fertile valleys, welcome to Trieves; a region of France in the foothills of the Alps above Provence, and the host for the first major French gathering of Transition Initiatives. You won’t find Trieves on any map, and even Google seems not to know of its existence, however there is a strong local identity centred around ecological awareness, and it come as no surprise that it is the host of this, France’s first Transition conference. It is place of small holdings and many young people returning to the land.
