Introduction To Transition
Hosted by Livelihoods2020.org.uk, a group looking to nurture solutions for a vibrant economy beyond fossil fuels (join mailing list for occasional updates). With Elin & Ian

This event is especially for anyone who has come across the Transition Towns movement recently, or who feels they should get a bit deeper into what it's all about....and those who have never heard of this Transition thingy, but are somewhat intrigued.

This is where you find out why there's a Transition storyline in the Archers, why The Transition Handbook was MPs 5th favourite read during last summer's holidays, and why this has gone from a small town in Devon to an international phenomenon in 30 countries in just 4 years. It is for anyone who is concerned about Climate Change, what's going to happen the next time oil prices go through the roof or markets crash, who would like to see a more sustainable, healthier city. For anyone interested to know what happens when permaculture, the psychology of change, The Natural Step, addiction therapy, and community action start to mingle. Or who wants to replace pessimism or despair with fun, action and community.


Brighton Media Centre are very proud of their role played in supporting the Transition Towns movement locally, including providing office and meeting space as an information point and small library focussed on sustainable work, money, finance and business. Brighton Media Centre are very concious of their impacts on the environment and community, and seek to support the shift towards a more sustainable city.
