Represent Edinburgh University at the Transition Network Gathering
Saturday 12 – Monday 14 June, Seale Hayne, Devon
This June is the Transition Network Gathering for groups from across Britain and the world. The weekend will include a plethora of activities including open space, inspiring workshops, skill shares, project shares, networking, entertainment, food, and lots of meaningful fun and frivolity! It’s our best opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with other Transition towns, cities and universities, and we want to be there in force to share ideas and build links. It’ll be held at the old Seale Hayne College with lovely buildings, loads of room, fantastic catering facilities, woods and gardens, and on-site accommodation.
- Transition Edinburgh University is offering places for three University students or staff who are involved with Transition Edinburgh University. The event would normally cost £130 but you can apply to go for just £33 covering your travel to and from Newton Abbot and the ticket price. Attendees will be required to organise their own accommodation but note that cheap camping space is available on site.
- We are also asking attendees to produce a report and short film about their experiences.
- If you are interested please email ric@teu.org.uk by Sunday 23rd May with your name, email address and phone number. We will offer places based on your opportunity for personal development, involvement in Transition-related activities, potential to benefit TEU, and whether you’ve had previous funding from TEU for training.
