Genius Guide to Transition Meetup

Genius Guide to Transition Meetup
Joondalup Family Centre25 Jolstra CresJoondalup,Transition is a movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild our world. Here we explain what it is, why people do it, how the movement started and give you a sense of our underpinning principles and approach.
People do Transition for all sorts of reasons:
> to get to know their neighbours;
> to feel like they are making a difference in the world; because the world’s huge challenges (climate change, social inequality, economic decline and so on) feel more manageable if addressed at the local scale (as one person put it, “Transition changed my relationship to the problems”);
> to catalyse all manner of new projects, enterprises and investment opportunities;
> to learn new skills;
> to feel like they are creating a new story for their place;
> to feel connected to other people and to something historic and exciting happening around them;
> because they feel it is “the right thing to do”.In this two-hour Genius Guide to Transition Meeting, you will receive a detailed presentation and workbook on the benefits to you and your community in being involved in the Transition Kollaborative, Network and Movement.
In fact, if you feel there has been no value exchanged or you are just not entirely satisfied with the presentation, then please see us for an immediate 100% refund of your ticket AND we hope you at least enjoyed the refreshments in exchange for your time..... PLUS you get to keep the Genius Guide to Transition Workbook.
