We have invited the Transition Towns Training group to run a two-day course at Minstead Study Centre, right in the heart of the New Forest. The course is residential, staying over the Saturday night, with vegetarian meals included.  We are hoping that the shared evening time will be productive too, getting to know one anther, sharing ideas and may be some entertainment. Can anyone play a guitar or a musical instrument they’d like to bring along?

It is a 2-day "fundamentals" course for those wishing to know how to get more involved with Transition, including how to set up, run, and maintain a successful transition initiative. It is packed with imaginative and inspiring ways to delve into both the theory and practice of Transition. It covers: the context of transition, the transition model, the main steps of transition, working out a plan of action for ourselves and our localities, the inner and outer aspects of transition, and how to give a Transition talk. Further details of the course content can be found on the Transition Network Training website below.

Minstead Study Centre is an ideal location. It’s new eco-dormitories, with timbers carved by local artists, is solar heated, optimally insulated and has a cozy wood burner. It's low impact, energy efficient and eco-friendly. In the week, it is a schools centre for Environmental Education and is part of the sustainable schools project.
