We'll watch In Transition 2.0 and then explore some of the exciting activities taking place in our local neighbourhoods and elsewhere to build healthier and more sustainable communities, including activities around food and Neighbourhood Food Networks.

In Transition 2.0 is an inspirational immersion in the Transition movement, gathering stories from around the world of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. You’ll hear about communities printing their own money, growing food everywhere, localising their economies and setting up community power stations. It’s an idea that’s gone viral, a social experiment that’s about responding to uncertain times with solutions and optimism. In a world awash with gloom, here’s a story of hope, ingenuity and the power of growing vegetables in unexpected places.
