The projects can span from art projects, seminars, lectures, publications, study groups, debate events etc.

In the daily work the project groups are self-organised and:

  • Are responsible for fundraising, communication and internal recruitment according to the specific project
  • Manage their own project-space at Podio
  • Keep the secretariat and the rest of the network updated on their work and progress

If one of the following projects has your interest, you are more than welcome to get in touch with the contact person and talk about how you can become part of the group.[/fusion_text][/two_third][one_third last=”yes” spacing=”yes” background_color=”#a1d100″ background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”15px” border_color=”#a1d100″ border_style=”solid” padding=”10px” class=”” id=””][fusion_text]

Once a month Transition Now organises a debate café where the different aspects of the transition are on the agenda. The topics so far have spanned from macroeconomics and international climate negotiations to sociological and psychological aspects of the transition as well as concrete suggestions on how to make a change in your daily life.

This project aim to create contacts and network with organisations and movements in other countries with the same goals and visions as Transition Now. As part of our international work we have translated the appeal developed in February 2013 to English and we will share the analysis and suggestions with other organisations to create an international debate about the great transition. The appeal analyses the current economic, political, environmental and social challenges and suggests alternative and innovative solutions.

Due to its direct political approach, the dissemination of the English version of appeal will first of all be aimed at the European civil society, in hope to create a broader European movement with concrete political action for the European Union. Nevertheless, the transition to a sustainable future society is a global challenge and the aim is to reach out and build alliances across the globe.

You can find the English translation of our Appeal here.

We are spending a lot of time talking about challenges and crises and we easily loose track by focussing on the details of how to solve them. However, it is not enough to focus on the problems we want to get away from – we also need to think about what it is we want instead: What is our vision for the future? What is our vision for the world we would like to take part of – and give to our children and grandchildren? Where do we want to go? How does our everyday life look like at the other side of the crises? How is it to live in a sustainable and flourishing society?

This project creates a platform for a number of workshops for visions for the transition, where the participants can development their own version of the future after the transition. The workshop takes shape of a mental dream travel to the future guided by the workshop facilitator. After the dream travel the participants share their dreams and visions with each other and in smaller groups they develop common ideas.

In the autumn 2014 Transition Now hosted our first international economics conference titled: Economy, People & Planet – Towards a New Economic Paradigm. The aim of the conference was to qualify the debate about economics – that economics is not an exact science and that it is too a large extent influenced by values and choices. The conference revolved around the five topics:

  • Regenerating the financial sector and the monetary system
  • Measuring progress and sustainable development
  • Creating sustainable production and consumption systems
  • Modelling holistic labour systems
  • Connecting the city with land and sea

Within each topic an international expert participated as keynote speaker, and the presentations were followed b solutions-oriented workshops.

You can read more about the conference here.
