[Scpg] Training for Transition, Oct 10-11 in Los Angeles

[J.P.]

The Transition movement is a worldwide grassroots movement to prepare our
local communities for the dual challenges of peak oil and climate change.
Founded in the UK, it is proactive and visionary in its scope.  Over the
past year, Transition groups have been forming throughout California
including on the Central Coast and throughout the Los Angeles area.
 
On October 10-11, a leadership training will be held in Culver City (Los
Angeles area).  The "Training for Transition" (T4T) offers an in-depth look
at the duality of peak oil and climate change, and teaches you the framework
and structure which are being used in communities around the world to build
resilience and local self-sufficiency.  
 
The T4T course is designed to give a detailed introduction to the most
important skills necessary to successfully set up, develop, and run a
Transition project in your locality.  The course offers detailed training
about the key issues ( <http://www.energybulletin.net/primer> peak oil,
<http://www.climatechoices.org/ca/index.html> global warming,

biocapacity), as well as the Transition process (the

fun ways to teach them. The T4T offers insight into the history and the
"what worked/didn't work" of other Transition initiatives which are further
along on the timeline, it gives training in group dynamics and program
design, and it will touch your heart and tap into your passion for this work
in ways you cannot even imagine.
 
You'll meet people from throughout Southern California (Culver City, West
LA, Long Beach, Irvine, San Diego, and more) who are eager to get Transition
going in their communities.  Trainers will be Scott McKeown (from Transition
Sebastopol) and Kat Steele (from Oakland).  Registrations are now being
accepted.
