"for all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?"
TRAINING for TRANSITION May15-16, 2010 Montague, Western Massachusetts
Transition United States (www.transitionus.org) is offering the two-day Training for Transition course as developed by the Transition Network in England (www.transitiontowns.org, www.transitionnetwork.org). The course is an in-depth experiential introduction to Transition for those considering bringing Transition to their community. It is recommended for local communities wishing to become an internationally-recognized Transition Initiative.
At the Training for Transition course, you will:
• Explore how the Transition process increases community resilience • Receive tools for community outreach, education and engagement • Learn how to summarize the Triple Challenge of Peak Oil, climate instability, and economic deterioration in ways that move people to positive action • Understand and know how to work with obstacles that have prevented our communities from recognizing and positively responding to the challenge of energy transition • Experience ways that local social and economic community can be created and strengthened • Learn ways of creating a positive, shared vision for your community’s future • Receive support for becoming a Transition catalyst in your community • Connect with others who are helping your region transition to greater stability and security • Become a part of a rapidly growing positive, inspirational, global movement!
In conjunction with a number of Transition Town projects, EarthThrives is pleased to share what is happening locally and provide knowledge resources to that effort.
