Announcing our 2022 Summit – Together We Can (Transition UK)

Announcing our 2022 Summit – Together We Can

Following last year’s What Next? Summit, join us to unleash the power of what we can do and be together. Expect to be nourished, supported and inspired, with mind-watering talks, practical skillshares and spaces to connect.

It’s been a tough time for community action. Alone, we can feel powerless, anxious and exhausted trying to respond to the challenges of our time.

We can’t do much in isolation, but together, we can. Together, we can rise to these challenges we face.  Together we can find and activate our hope and power. Together we can build a better future. Together, we’re already showing the way. Together we can learn, heal, challenge and re-energise. Together, we are better, stronger, more powerful.

Together we can create life-changing online summits! This Summit will put the fire back in your belly, the spring back in your step, the hope back in your activism. We want you to be part of it. Because Together We Can.

How can I be part of it?

This Summit is about all of us, and we’d love your help to shape it. Complete our short survey below (in English or Welsh) and share your ideas, questions, what would help and interest you.

The Summit will be followed by a week-long open space to keep the connections and energy going where participants want to take it. We’ll let you know how to convene an open space session nearer the time.

DIY Video workshop – 10 February, 7-8pm

Videos are a creative and engaging way to get people interested in what you do and demonstrate the impact of your work.  Led by Peter Lefort, who has supported communities for 10+ years, and Rhiannon Colvin, Transition Together’s Communications Lead. All welcome – no technical experience needed!
