WHATS HAPPENING AT THIS YEAR’S CONFERENCE?

At this year’s conference we will be exploring the global stories of Transition! Over the past few years, the Transition movement has spread virally to more than 1,200 communities in at least 43 countries. From Brazil to Japan, Canada to Croatia, people have been inspired to get together with their neighbours and make the place where they live, happier, healthier and more resilient. Alongside this, a young but vibrant network of now over 20 National Hubs has formed to support the growing international nature of Transition and its diverse interpretation globally. Transitioners at Seale-Hayne back in 2010…This year’s Conference will explore the emergent face of Transition as an important worldwide grassroots activist network, focused on finding local solutions to global issues, and the new stories that are emerging from this shift.

Hundreds of Transitioners from across 30+ countries are expected to attend in person and many more will be able to participate online through a live global webcast event we are organising. We will share ideas and information, learn new skills together, inspire each other and showcase and celebrate the huge range of projects and activities through which people are increasing local resilience. Transition is more relevant now than ever with solutions at all scales needed.

Here at Transition Network, we’re incredibly excited about once more spending time with our friends from around the UK, in Europe and from beyond. Its going to be a fantastic, enriching, enlivening event and we hope to see you here!
