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!
It’s been a while since Transition Town Totnes ran a big community Open Space event, so it was great to facilitate an event on Saturday which focused on the question of how Dartington Hall Trust should use its land beyond 2014. Dartington is one of the major landowners adjoining Totnes, and it has been engaged with the Transition process here since it began. In June 2007 an event called ‘Estates in Transition’ brought together landowners from across the South West to look at how their land management might change in relation to peak oil and climate change. At present the 742 acres of farmland on the estate is leased to a dairy farmer who retires in 2014, so a Land Use Review has begun to begin planning what happens next. I represent TTT on the Review, and one of the things I offered was to facilitate an Open Space day in the town to get the views of the community.
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…
Here is a clip from a programme made for Rai 3 in Italy which looked at the future (or not) of economic growth and which included a trip to see Transition in Totnes, in Berlin and also in Monteveglio. Great stuff, although understanding Italian is definitely an advantage….
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.
