**Inaugural Transition Network conference with Richard Heinberg and Rob Hopkins – May 31st.**
We’re setting up a Transition Network conference for 31st May 2007 in Nailsworth, near Stroud, Gloucestershire, at [Ruskin Mill]((www.rmet.co.uk/rmc/rmc_menu1.htm). The purpose of the event is to add momentum to existing Transition Towns (and cities/districts/villages), increase the connections between them. We’re also hoping to be able to encourage others to embark on their own voyage of self-determined energy descent.

Transition Town Totnes is developing a project called ‘Transition Tales’ which is seeking to involve young people in exploring how the Transition process might be for the town, as well as to raise their awareness about peak oil and climate change. One of the great things about **Transition Culture** is all the wonderful readers out there bristling with ideas. I want to throw this out to you. Do you have any thoughts for exercises, games, demonstrations that could make an understanding of peak oil accessible to teenagers?
