Events

The Transition Network’s What Next? Summit takes place on 3rd – 20th March and there are an amazing selection of events lined up.

The What Next? Summit will build community power across the UK by bringing together hundreds of community activists already making change happen, so together we can have a bigger impact.

Over the course of three weeks Transition Network will be hosting a wide range of events and workshops. From a blizzard of inspiring stories of change happening across the world, to inspiring speakers such as Kate Raworth, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan and Carne Ross helping us explore how the power of imagination can transform our current practice. And much, much more!

This February, join Transition Town Lewes for three live online events where Lewes people open up their houses and show what they’ve done to make their homes warmer, more energy-efficient and less reliant on fossil fuels.

A great opportunity to ask questions, learn what does and doesn’t work – and how the costs and savings stack up.

The first event will focus on heating and will take place on Thursday 11th February at 6pm – 7pm.

Fairtrade Fortnight runs from 22nd Feb to 7th March.

The Fairtrade Foundation need your help to put farmers’  voices at the heart of tackling the climate crisis and share the reality of their struggles. Our global trading system is balanced in favour of the powerful few. Trapped in this system, farmers already struggle to meet their immediate needs. More than ever, they need a fair price for their crops and their hard work.

Fairtrade works to raise the voices of farmers and workers and prioritise what they need to respond to the environmental crises unfolding in already vulnerable communities. This Fortnight, we are asking you to ‘Choose the World You Want’ and use your voice to tell others about the challenges that farmers face from climate change.

We will be hosting an online festival bringing together schools, universities, businesses, supporters, campaigners and farmers from across the world to choose the world they want.

Green Tides has secured National Lottery funding to help develop a website (now under development) which will showcase all the local wonderful wildflower sites.

The aim is to encourage more and more people to get out there and enjoy our local greenspaces and even have a go at growing some wildflowers themselves!

So that they can develop content for the website and create the all important trail map, they have taken a standardised approach to gathering some information about these local spaces, some of which TTW maintains – this comes in the shape of a form that will be the submission to be part of the trail.

There’s a little FAQ about what’s going on and how people can help us at this stage. Please contact Chris to get any wildflower spaces listed on the trail map that he may not know about (we will list The Haven in Homefield Park), or send through any great pictures of wildflowers, meadows areas and pollinators.
