Note: These trainings prepare people to implement the
Transition protocol developed by permaculture teacher Rob Hopkins
and outlined in his new book "The Transition Handbook: From
Oil Depletion to Local Resilience."
Dear All,
We are pleased to be able to offer the
Transition Training
courses here in Northern California in November / December 2008.
Training for Transition (T4T): The first 2-day
course is scheduled for November 17, 18 in the San Francisco area.
The exact location is yet to be confirmed. The cost of attending T4T
is $200. Depending on the level of interest, we will schedule a
second T4T in the Bay area for early
December.
Training the Trainers (TTT):
The first 4-day course is scheduled for November 20, 21, 22, 23 also
in the San Francisco area. The exact location is yet to be
confirmed. The cost of attending TTT is $500.
For anyone that takes both courses, the cost is $600.
Both courses will be taught by Naresh and Sophy who put
together the original Transition Training courses in the UK.
We would like to offer bursaries to those who want to
take the training but are short of funds. If any of you are willing
to make a donation over and above the course fees, we will apply
your donation to the bursary fund.
The Transition Training
courses are being co-ordinated by Carolyn
Stayton. Please contact her at
transitiontraining@gmail.com for further
information, all bookings and enquiries.
Carolyne took
the "Training for Transition" course in Totnes, Devon earlier this
year from Naresh and Sophy. Carolyne has a master's degree in
Nonprofit Administration from the University of San Francisco and
has spent her career developing programs in the charitable sector.
She is passionate about the Transition movement and is helping to
develop Transition Initiatives in the US.
I hope
that as many of you as possible take the T4T training - it will
really help to get Transition Initiatives off the ground in your
communities. And if we can increase the group of Transition Trainers
through attendees at TTT, we will be able to offer more extensive
and speedier coverage of the US. We have no time to
lose!
Best regards,
Pamela
