Sunday 6th December , The Greenhouse, 17 St Andrews Street, Dublin 2

Cultivate are organising a “Transition Day” on Sunday 6th December in The Greenhouse (former Enfo building) to bring together members of existing Transition Towns and those wishing to get started in an afteroon of sharing and learning.  The first session from 3-4pm will look at what learning resources and education materials are available to raise awareness and develop capacity within your community for change. The second session, from 4-6:30pm, is an introduction to Transition – what its all about, how to get started, how to keep things moving and lessons from transition groups around the country.

“Now is the time for us to take stock and start re-creating our future in ways that are not based on cheap, plentiful and polluting oil but on localised food, sustainable energy sources, resilient local economies and an enlivened sense of community well-being.”  Rob Hopkins – Author of the Transition Handbook
