Peak oil: involving wider community and avoiding burn-out

At the Transition Network conference - see other blog entries for today - there were a series of workshops in which groups explored particular issues. All of this work will be available soon but I thought I'd post here some of the issues raised.

Photos: groups in action - all the while we were being filmed so that the discussions and issues can be shared with a wider audience.

The first group I joined was about how to involve wider communities - those people who appear less interested or are indeed not interested. This proved an interesting discussion - with lots of useful ways forward - the tow flip charts shown don't do justice to the quality of comments made and examples given...


The second workshop was the issue I bought to the Open Space - how can we avoid burning out and keeping the whole project sustainable - see the three flipcharts for some of the comments - remembering that without fun and some tangible gains for individuals will not be sustainable for long - again lots of great thoughts, advice and more.
