FW: Civil society innovations: Transition Festivals around the UK

[ac0...@surrey.ac.uk]

Hi all

 

Don't know if you've seen this, but am forwarding in case it is of interest as something put together by the Transition Network, New Economics Foundation and Ramblers among others... might it make sense to draw a link between any forthcoming Transition Woking awareness-raising activities with the festival?

 

All the best

Festival of transition

May-June, with 24 hours of events from 20-21 June 2012 across the UK
How can we change our lives for the better in the face of climate change, peak oil and financial instability? As part of the ‘festival of transition’ over 20 events are being held around the UK reimagining how the world might be like if ‘we adapted to the end of cheap fossil fuels, addressed the threat of runaway climate change and dealt with realities of a failed financial system.’ The festival includes a series of talks from 19th May to the 13th June in Bristol, Edinburgh, East Anglia and Hay. There will also be a series of walks organised by the Ramblers Association, and 24 hours of activities from 20th-21st June 2012 including events, training and job swapping in the London and across the UK. Last year activities included a ‘Trashcatchers carnival’ in Tooting.
