Transition Culture has moved
I no longer blog on this site. You can now find me, my general blogs, and the work I am doing researching my forthcoming book on imagination, on my new blog.

Last year I spoke at the Hay Literary Festival as part of a series of talks that the New Economics Foundation organised. They were very well attended and brought some great speakers together. Now a small book has been produced by nef, edited from transcripts of those talks, and a wonderful little gem it is too. You can order hard copies from nef here, or download it free here.
I recently gave a presentation to a conference in Helsinki organised by the British Council in Finland, via. pre-recorded DVD. They then posted it online, so if you are interested, here it is…. .
When we talked before, you mentioned some practical stories about how people in the US and how people in Transition projects were making use of the Crash Course – could you tell us about those?
Certainly, a number of people have used the Crash Course to great effect. It’s available online for free but not everybody watches 3½ hours of material on a computer, and it really wasn’t my intent for people to sit down alone and watch 3½ hours of stuff on the computer. It’s meant to be shared. So we produced it as three separate discs – they come in a single DVD case – and each of those discs is an hour and a half or less, and that was produced so that people would take that and bring it to their communities, maybe run three separate sessions a week.
Here is a great short film which provides a really good record of last year’s Transition Scotland gathering. Thanks to everyone who put this together…
Here’s what I’ve been doing for the last 2 weeks! Everyone who comes to the 2010 Transition Network conference (starting in 8 days) will be given a 108 page booklet containing the programme of events, the complete guide to all the workshops, and the working draft of the ‘seeing Transition as a pattern language’ work I have been doing, and around which the conference, and the second edition of ‘The Transition Handbook’, is based (of which more in coming weeks). You can download the booklet in two parts, the main document here (it is a big file, 8.64MB) and the cover here. For those of you who are coming, here is an opportunity in advance to familiarise yourself with it. For those of you not coming, here’s what you’re missing, there is still time to book. If you find any typos, I don’t want to know, it has gone to the printers!
