On Tuesday 8th July, our regular Transition Café is taking a new format - we are hosting a showcase
of local green and ethical enterprises.
We invite you to host a table stall
and bring information about
your organisation to use this as an opportunity to promote
what you are doing, as well as network among one another.

Last Month Transition Liverpool hosted the 6th and final of our Climate Justice series,
This module was Solidarity in Climate Justice. We were fortunate to have Ailish Carroll-Brentnall from Friends House, who co-designed the full Quakers Climate Justice course that we adapted into our own sessions and presentations.
She was pleased to see the course being used. We travelled forward to 2040 in our time machines to picture a FAIRER and MORE EQUAL WORLD.
Some of the responses are photographed below…
|
|
|
|
|
|
The presentation, and activities
were informed by a Quakers Booklet that draws on input from various Quakers and was created with assistance from
Lucy Faulkner-Gawlinski,
Neil Gibbons, and associates
at Faith for the Climate.

We are continually seeking to broaden our core team to be more representative of Liverpool’s community, and we are currently searching for a volunteer to take on some of the responsibility
of social media, communications,
and outreach tasks, including
our monthly newsletter
and social media activities.

Right, Guy - Core Group Member

There are numerous opportunities to engage with Transition Liverpool. For instance, Tracey and Guy contribute in various ways, one example is preparing meals for our monthly Transition Cafes and our annual
Transition Gatherings. We believe it is crucial to continually strive to expand the core group of Transition Liverpool. Our focus is on broadening, deepening, and sustaining our current efforts. Equally important is seeking input on how we can encourage more
people to participate, enhance our organisational structures, understand the impact of systemic frameworks, and eliminate obstacles to inclusivity and diversity. The more voices we have, the better our representation of Liverpool's wider community. We invite
you!
|
|
We are also in the process of planning
our next
Transition Gathering, which will take place in
October - the theme will be CIRCULARITY - WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR PLANNING TEAM - if you're interested, please email transitio...@gmail.com!

with the summer holidays coming up
- save your scrap/recycling
so you can create crafts with younger family members
|
|
In the summer holidays, young family members are always
looking for something fun to do.
Why not save your supposed scrap and recycling to create things?
bean tins could be bug hotels, and milk jugs could be elephants - get creative!

A fantastic opportunity:
Transition Liverpool together with the Climate Psychology Alliance is offering
free training to people who may wish to organise and facilitate Climate Cafes
- Train the Trainers.
The training will be delivered on 13th September
and we are currently running climate cafes as a first stage in the training.
If you are interested, or know someone else who is, contact Dinah Dossor on
Dinah....@talktalk.net,
please CC in
[?subject=&body=]transitio...@gmail.com,
so that we can respond if Dinah cannot.
Please find a brief introduction to Climate Cafes below:
What Is a Climate Café
A warm hospitable confidential café style meeting with drinks and cakes where up to 10 people get together for 1.5 hours
with two facilitators to follow a process developed by the Climate Psychology Alliance (www.climatepsychologyalliance.org)
Why
do we offer Climate Cafes
Perhaps you have recently begun to worry about what is happening to our climate and what this might mean for you, and
for your family and friends? Or maybe you are an activist or professional in the climate world, used to feeling the pain of climate grief or anxiety and keeping it at bay by all the significant work you do. A climate café is a simple, hospitable, empathetic
space where anyone’s fears and uncertainties about our climate crisis can be safely expressed. A space in which we do not talk about what we or others are doing or should be doing. We would just talk about climate change and how it is making us feel and think.
