We need all 8 billion of us to Fall in Love with a Future we’d be proud to leave to the generations that come after us.
Rob Hopkins of the #TransitionTown movement has written a new book showing us how.

What If… we could reimagine our future as thriving, fairer, more resilient and more connected? How could that vision help us to move forward and take practical action towards a better future?
Transition Together have just brought out a free step-by-step guide to building a community vision, a great tool for making local change. The guide is designed to help groups and communities open up their imagination and start exploring what a better future could look like in their context. It helps to build a shared vision of what’s possible, a vital starting point to exploring how we can work together to make it a reality.
The guide is for any group that wants to expand their vision of what’s possible in the future and explore how they want to work towards it. It is designed for starting conversations within a local community and to create a space to hear different perspectives and needs. The exercise can also be used to investigate a single theme or issue, like food or transport, or by a group which isn’t place-based but wants to reimagine the future of their area of interest – like the arts or youth provision.
If you are from a community group that wants to invite the wider community into this process you might like to do this exercise within your organisation first. This lets you become really familiar with it before running it with a bigger audience, but also allows your members to fully contribute and explore your priorities and focus in a deeper, richer way.
The guide is based on the experience of the Transition Movement, a network of community groups in 50 countries; people working together locally to address the big, complex problems of our time. They do this by reimagining our local communities, and then taking practical action to help them become thriving, inclusive, more resilient places for everyone. ‘Transition’ simply means change and how we get from one thing to another – from a damaging, polluting, unequal present to a fairer, more resilient, regenerative future for all.
There are some 300 local Transition groups in communities across the UK. They are supported by Transition Together in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and by Scottish Communities Climate Action Network (SCCAN) in Scotland. This approach to visioning was developed during the global coronavirus pandemic and is inspired by Rob Hopkins’ work around What if, and the 3 horizons framework (https://www.h3uni.org/). This framework was developed to help navigate situations where there is a high level of uncertainty and also a high level of potential for change. It’s an approach that has been tried and tested by many local Transition groups working to take action from the ground up, and helped them go on to make changes in their community.

Why community-led movements like #transitiontowns are crucial:
"The #TransitionNetwork works towards a low-carbon, socially just future, cultivating a caring culture focused on mutual support. They use participatory approaches to set up #renewableenergy projects, re-localise #foodsystems & create green spaces...
"Our multiple crises can't be solved with conventional thinking, top-down management... we need new approaches, bottom-up, collaborative & inclusive."

Today we collected pallets, cardboard and wood chips. Everyone who gave them to us were happy to help. Mother Louise made as coffee. We were offered chocolate.

Is anyone here in the #TransitionNetwork / #TransitionTowns / #farming / #permaculture / #rewilding?
My grandparents were farmers, I grew up on a 2 1/2 smallholding and we were almost completely self-sufficient for all food for most of my childhood. Now I 'only' have an allotment, that's a mature little food forest.

Transition Town Bewegung
Transition Town (Transition ->Wandel, Übergang) ist eine weltweite Bewegung von Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen, in denen Menschen in ihrer Umgebung beginnen, anders zu handeln und zu wirtschaften. Angesichts des Klimawandels und zunehmender Ressourcenverknappung wollen wir nicht auf die “große Politik” warten, sondern jetzt anfangen, die Welt enkelgerechter zu machen.
