The document discusses the Transition Towns movement, which aims to help communities transition to more sustainable ways of living in response to climate change and declining fossil fuel availability. The movement has three main components: a vision for what the community could look like after transitioning, plans and pathways to achieve that vision, and guiding principles. It emphasizes the importance of developing a positive vision of the future and providing examples that transition is possible in motivating communities to take action toward more sustainable living.

Adrian Ramsay (Centre for Alternative Technology) - Thinking Globally, Acting...TheSchumacherInstitute
When the modern green movement was born in the mid-1970s, many activists and campaign groups, inspired by Schumacher and other influential figures, focused on the potential for self-sufficient lifestyles as a solution to the unsustainable use of the Earth’s resources. During the past 40 years the debate has moved towards asking how society as a whole can operate in a sustainable way focusing, for example, on linking large and small scale renewable technologies into the grid.
The evolution of CAT’s work is an example of this, with our Zero Carbon Britain research demonstrating how existing technology could meet the country’s needs with the political will to drive these changes at a national level. At the same time, there is increased interest in how individuals and communities can make a difference locally, as demonstrated by the Transition Towns and community power movements. With the crucial international climate talks in Paris fast approaching, to what extent should the green movement be focused on national targets and initiatives versus the promotion of bottom-up solutions? Or does the long-term slogan of the green movement of ‘Thinking Globally, Acting Locally’ remind us that we can combine the need to harness local solutions with a drive for national and international frameworks for restricting global temperature rise and protecting the Earth’s resources and biodiversity?

Can Design Save the World? - Ann Longley | Interact London 2017Nomensa
As a planet and a species we are facing many imminent threats:
climate change induced disasters are increasing
65+ million people are displaced due to man-made conflicts
preventable diseases continue to plague us
almost half of the world live in poverty
Rapidly evolving technology can help us overcome many of these problems, but it is also a catalyst for further societal disruption. We are as yet unclear how robots and automation will play out in the workforce. Our institutions are not prepared for the massive societal changes these technologies will bring.
What is the role of design in the problem solving equation? Design has created some game-changing solutions to very specific problems, in particular, those in less developed countries. From poverty reducing water pumps to gravity powered lights, design can incrementally improve lives and undoubtedly transform our future. But what are the barriers which prevent it from reaching its full potential and how we might overcome them? How does design unlock its inherent ability and scale up to solve the world’s most pressing and complex problems?

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. TRANSITION TOWNS- ...the story so far Naresh Giangrande www.transitiontowns.org www.Livingonthecusp.org www.transitionculture.org “ The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by sceptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need people who can dream of things that never were” John F Kennedy Transition Forest of Dean: Transition Oxford

4. We need to address our collective inability to vision the future we actually want…. Transition Training 2007
13. Industrial Ascent (Modernism) Energy & Resource Use Population Pollution Climax Techno-Fantasy Green-Tech Stability Earth stewardship Mad Max Great Grand Children Agriculture 10.000yrs BP Industrial Revolution Baby Boom Pre-industrial sustainable culture Historical Time Future Time Creative Descent ( Permaculture) Where are we going?
Got these things in it… Mix of high tech with local traditional stuff
If you look around our world for positive visions of sustainable future Naresh’s daughter work in film industry, asked film geek friends which films envision positive future Are there any? Fourth star treck film- first contact, one with racu Other than that they are mostly apocolyptic, 2 visions: Technofantasy- endless technological solutions Dystopic disaster scenario, mad max, post-apocolyptic vision of few straggling survivors fighting over last few drops of oil, Eco Doom
Start treck is the growth will never end Dilithium crystals, go into new galaxies
More recent Environmental cataclysm, Eco Doom Those are the main two
Anyone read it? Heavy going Good clips of naimi klein in you tube Journalist documented how capitalism works See disasters as good opportunity Opportunities for companies to go in and take out any local democracy or resilience which many be there e.g. Following hurricane katrina, lost a lot of valuable property held by working class people and education Creation of disasters cos good bus opportunity Iraq war, many failing american businesses profit from rebuilding iraq and the war REALLY IMPORTANT Q of when we have shocks to our system, who will beneift? Will it be the continued expansion of the global capital system or well-prepared transition initiative to create positive new community initiatives There will be key points of crisis, we need to be aware of these and the opportunities the present for both us and those who wish to continue with the existing system
One of the few future positive visions of what a post-transition world might look like Most of them are in feminist science fiction Really recommend it Anyone know of any more? Marge pearsey, woman on the edge of time Ursula le guin- The Dispossessed
This is the richard heinberg idea, we are probably at peak everything in the next decade or so We have climbed the curve, now at a climax This is a historical moment of choice, we need to choose our future Where are we going, what the possible futures?This slide maps out the four possible futures, taken from research and a number of different writers… Techno-fantasy - technical fix for every solution - every limit will be overcome by technology, if run out of oil use nuclear, tar sands - tremendous emotional and psychological investment in this - article in New Scientist re renewable energies, if we exploit all possible renewable energy then will be much more than ever with oil Green tech stability - have to reduce a little but then can stabilise at high level of material affluence - green fix, use far less energy and resources - radical- not continued growth Earth stewardship - permaculture & transition solution - say need to find way to come down it - reduce levels of consumption & energy use, different ways of organising society and our lives which are more sustainable - option is that we are not going to fall down or but to come down in sensible way Mad max - nothing in place to help us manage the descent - banking system, grow and grow and now falling apart Then do credibility monitor for each Interesting to look at these scenarios as psychological positions One bit of psychology of change as how do we respond to having significant change being forced on us Technofantasy is position of denial- technology as god Mad max is polarity- anger or despair, doesn’t matter if wiped off planet as we are violent anyway, lots of suffering involved in that, lots of denial in there too, angry and despairing position to take. E.g. in US resilience so low and disbelief Lots of people are caught between those two, only two they can see Green tech stability- Interesting position- changed light bulbs but now go on holiday to canaries and keep on buying bananas, bargaining, we can scrape thru without changing too much if we are very good- very attractive to business Earth stewardship Sane acceptance, we come down off this curve and use it as an opportunity to increase quality of life and social justice… At moment of choice, need to focus our vision, make it into a turning point, The Great Turning
Steven covey 7 habits of highly effective people Principle- start with the end in mind When you build a house you don’t just turn up with a bunch of materials and some builders You have a plan so that you know what you are going to do, so that everyone knows what they will do… Vision is central part of energy descent pathways
When put out a vision People get called to that vision Creates energy and motivation for people to start taking action Leadership role of Initiating Groups- about doing things which provide people with experiences which move them through an emotional transition where they feel motivated themselves to take action
Vision is so important that when Rob Hopkins wrote his Transition Handbook, he devoted a third of it to vision From rob’s book where he was doing some visioning himself Funny that some of the things he had Imagined for the future, some of those things now have already come into being This is from his book, building firm making hemp plaster Then when he came to plaster his kitchen he found that the product actually exists Even same name!
