Transformations

Researchdays (Forskningstorget) 18-19th of September - Tromsø
To communicate climate-change is a matter of transforming our very thinking and changing our actions. This was the focus for my collaboration with PLAN, an interdisciplinary project researching the potentials and limits of adaptation as a response to climate change. http://www.iss.uio.no/forskning/plan/aktuelt/2009/2009-09-23.html

Local Food - how to make it happen

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.
Book launch: Totnes (Devon) on October 1st, and another in London on the 13th of October.

"We cannot solve problems with the same mindset that created them" - Einstein

Sustainability and adaptation are the two main threads running through the PLAN-project stand during the Research-days in Tromsø. I am collaborating to make a "transformation" tent and two mind-maps for expansion, playing and thinking about ways of transforming our thinking and actions in order to create sustainable futures for all living creatures on this planet.
18.09.2009 from 11:00-15:00 and 19.09.2009 from 11:00-15:00

Cafédialogue about vibrant communities

It 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.
