The Transition
movement is a worldwide grassroots movement to prepare our local
communities for the dual challenges of peak oil and climate change.
Founded in the UK, it is proactive and visionary in its scope. Over the
past year, Transition groups have been forming throughout California
including on the Central Coast and throughout the Los Angeles
area.
On October
10-11, a leadership training will be held in Culver City (Los Angeles
area). The "Training for Transition" (T4T) offers
an in-depth look at the duality of peak oil and climate change,
and teaches you the framework and structure which are being used in
communities around the world to build resilience and local
self-sufficiency.
The T4T course is designed to
give a detailed introduction to the most important skills necessary to
successfully set up, develop, and run a Transition project in your
locality. The course offers
detailed training about the key issues (peak
oil, global warming, biocapacity), as well as
the Transition process (the 12 steps and more). Learn fun ways to
teach them. The T4T offers insight into the history and the "what worked/didn't
work" of other Transition initiatives which are further along on the timeline,
it gives training in group dynamics and program design, and it will touch your
heart and tap into your passion for this work in ways you cannot even
imagine.
You'll meet people from throughout Southern
California (Culver City, West LA, Long Beach, Irvine, San Diego, and more) who
are eager to get Transition going in their communities. Trainers
will be Scott McKeown (from Transition Sebastopol) and Kat Steele (from
Oakland). Registrations are now being accepted.
