Hi everyone,
I'm new to this group so hope my topic of conversation is not out of context.
I am exploring the potential for setting up a transition group in the village I come from and am looking for groups that have set up with a similar context, which is:
- there is no road leading to the village (either you walk 7km to get there or you come by boat)
- the number of inhabitants vary massively over the year: 16 all year round, up to over a 100 during holiday periods
- it is a massively touristic area during the 'summer period', which is roughly from mid april til mid october (about 2000 tourists visit for between half an hour and a few hours each day through tourist boats)
All this combined makes the context quite speciffic and unusual and I would be keen to find out examples of existing groups that have come about in somewhat similar contexts.
I am not sure where to look or ask because the maps you get on the transition network website does not have a search feature that could be used.
If anyone has suggestions about where/who to ask or can help in any way, I would appreciate it?
Btw, the village is in France so if anyone knows of a similar forum in France, please let me know as well.
Thanks in advance
Clement
