Researchdays (Forskningstorget) 18-19th of September - Tromsø
The Transition Town Movement is publishing a great book on the 17th of September written by Tamzin Pinkerton and Rob Hopkins - the "father" of the Transition Movement. I have also made a small contribution there about bread-making. According to Rob: "Rather than being an intellectual exercise, it is really about the nitty gritty of setting up local food projects, drawing largely (but by no means exclusively) from the successes and failures of Transition initiatives around the world. It is packed with examples, tips, links, ideas and inspiration for rebuilding food resilience where you live. ‘Local Food’ is available from Transition Culture (and elsewhere) from September 17th.
"We cannot solve problems with the same mindset that created them" - EinsteinIt is clear that the big economical, ecological and cultural challenges we are facing today cannot be solved within the framework of our current thinking. In this project we are focusing on the potential for development of a more integrated society. We want to contribute to rising new questions that opens up long-term, global solutions applicable to local and regional levels.
Det er i dag stor forståelse for at mange av de økonomiske, økologiske og kulturelle utfordringene samfunnet står overfor, i liten grad lar seg løse innenfor rammene av etablerte tankemønstre.I dette prosjektet retter vi oppmerksomheten mot det store potensialet for utvikling som ligger i å se ulike samfunnssektorer i en større sammenheng. Vi ønsker å bidra til å stille nye spørsmål som åpner for langsiktige og globale løsninger som kan settes ut i livet på lokalt og regionalt nivå.

This years Hamsun Festival was celebrating the renowned Norwegian author Knut Hamsuns 150th anniversary with the opening of the Hamsun Centre in Hamarøy. http://www.stevenholl.com/project-detail.php?type=museums&id=39 I was invited to do a workshop based on his work, and I chose to focus on his passion for nature. From early childhood he went into the woods and mountains to seek peace for his thoughts and observations that he so eloquently expressed in his novels throughout his life. I wanted the children to be right there, in his footsteps. I wanted them to sense the place and discover its treasures. I wanted them to be enveloped in the colours, shapes and tastes - to be part of nature - to be in it. Two days of experiencing, listening, tasting, making colors, houses of natural materials and celebrating the invisible wonders of life!
