An Evolving Exploration into the Head, Heart and Hands of Energy Descent
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.
You have amazed us again with all the wonderful things you’re doing…so here’s a taste of what’s going on in the world of Transition. Let’s start in Canada. Transition Guelph will Unleash their initiative with a Resilience 2011 Community Festival and become the second official Transition initiative in Canada…all very exciting! There’ll be lots of activities to inspire local people and build interest while also celebrating the many wonderful things already happening to make Guelph sustainable and resilient. They need volunteers to help make the day a success so why not join in the fun? Radio Ecoshock recently aired a one hour programme called ‘Transition – the West Coast Scene’, and you can listen to it online here, and there’ll be more programmes coming up soon that discuss related topics, so keep listening.
I wrote a while ago about the wonderful event that was the Unleashing of Transition Malvern Hills. I mentioned that at the event they showed a 20 minute film, drawing together some of the different work underway in the area. That film is now online, and you can watch it below….
We’re starting in Hungary with exciting news…because Tracey, Isti and Peti from Global Projekt and from the first Transition initiative in Hungary – Klimabarát Wekerle – have been busy working on the magyar felirattal, or Hungarian subtitles, for the In Transition 1.0 film, and they’re all finished now! Here is the subtitled version, and Tracy also has DVD copies available. Thank you all so much!
Here’s a talk given by Lucy Neal of Transition Town Tooting filmed at an event called ‘Ready to Change’ in December in Ljubljana, where she talked about Transition, the role the arts can play in it, and the work of Transition Town Tooting including last summer’s Trashcatcher’s Carnival. Great stuff…
The Belgian magazine Imagine just published an edition with a large piece on Transition. Imagine is a beautifully designed full-colour publication, and you can view a page-turnable online version of it here, but ideally you might support the magazine and buy either a pdf. copy or a printed copy here. Although this will clearly be of more interest in French speaking parts of the world, even as a non-French speaker myself I found it a delight to flip through.
How might our response to peak oil and climate change look more like a party than a protest march? This site explores the emerging transition model in its many manifestations
