<h2>Following the <strong>Transition Network </strong>Conference:</h2>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://transitionculture.org/2011/06/23/two-weeks-to-go-until-the-transition-network-conference/">Conference highlights from our very own Rob</a></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://a.images.blip.tv/EON-TRANSITIONTOWNSAnInterviewWithRobHopkins365.jpg" alt="http://a.images.blip.tv/EON-TRANSITIONTOWNSAnInterviewWithRobHopkins365.jpg" height="108" width="130">As
the Transition movement grows, deepens and spreads, it is developing
strongly around themes such as localisation and social enterprise, the
practicalities of making projects happen on the ground, and the critical
importance of building good strong groups to underpin the whole process
(to name but a few).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The conference offers the opportunity to
reconnect with what’s emerging, what people are doing, as well as to
hear new ideas from a range of other areas/organisations. You will meet
people doing Transition in cities, towns, villages and universities up
and down the country, as well as some from further afield.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Every Transition conference has had its
own distinct identity, from the first one at Ruskin Mill to last year’s
event at Seale Hayne. This year will be another unique experience,
drawing on the passion and experience of Liverpool’s Transition groups
and also a variety of other local food/community development groups in
the city.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It promises to be a rich, exhilarating
and energising weekend. You will also get a very real taste of what the
soon-to-be-published ‘Transition Companion’ will look like and how it
presents Transition in a very different way to the ‘Transition
Handbook’. Soul food for Transition. See you there.</p>
