Next week Transition Network is launching Transition Bounce Forward with 4 free ‘What is’ webinars exploring the context we are in and how Transition Groups are responding.
You don’t have to be a member of a transition group to attend, anyone who is interested in how local community action is responding and thinking about the future will find lots of interest.
As the first step of Transition: Bounce Forward, Transition Network invites you to a series of four exciting online What Is events from 7th-10th September. This will be followed by further sessions in October and November, during which we’ll be looking at What If and What Next.
While the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the vulnerability and inequality experienced by many people in our communities, it has also demonstrated the potential for major and swift changes to reframe the purposes of our economy and our society.
In true Transition form our vision is not to ‘bounce back’ to how things were before. Transition groups have been crafting a vision of a better future for over a decade, that speaks to the needs for community resilience and a society with a focus on caring. So instead of bouncing back, we invite you to join with us to bounce forward.
