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.
Andreas Teuchert filmed a series of interviews at the 2009 Transition Network conference, which he edited together around three key questions. Here is the first, the other two are posted below. Thanks Andreas, they turned out really well….
Transition Network is looking for new Trustees. We are looking for people who want to help support the organisation and the growing movement, as well as represent the diversity of the movement. The following text sets out how Transition Network functions, as well as the qualities we are looking for in new Trustees. Do have a think in your initiatives if there is someone you would like to nominate, or if you feel you would like to stand in your own right. For the right people, this is a great opportunity to become more actively involved in the future direction of the Network.
The 2009 Transition Network conference at Battersea Arts Centre, pretty much the only point at which everybody sat in rows...
Lots of people have been asking for the date of the 2010 Transition Network conference, so here we go. The good news for 2010 is that there will be not one but two UK Transition conferences! The first will be held at Michael Hall School near Forest Row in Sussex on the 29th, 30th and 31st May 2010. The theme of the conference will be ‘Broadening’, taking the Transition approach wider and deeper. Being based near Forest Row, one of the earliest UK Transition initiatives, gives the opportunity to experience first-hand the amazing local food systems already in place there. The second conference will be in Scotland, hosted by Transition Scotland Support, later in the year (s0metime October/November). The theme for that will be ‘Deepening’, and dates are to be confirmed. More information, such as times, accommodation, prices and so on, will be made available soon. Watch this space or the Transition Network website.
The TTT Christmas party just after the news was announced on Friday night
I am delighted to be able to announce that Transition Town Totnes has been selected as one of 10 ‘first movers’ in the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s ‘Low Carbon Communities Challenge’, which I introduced here when it was launched in late September. The scheme was run on incredibly tight timeframes, as any of the many other Transition initiatives who applied will attest, and it was a miracle, given the timeframes, that anyone got any bids together at all. The ‘second movers’ will be announced in January.
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
