STEERING THROUGH UNCERTAIN TIMES

Climate Change / Energy Decline / Economic Chaos

Transition Barrie is a citizen led initiative, founded in May 2009, to explore how Barrie can adapt to these issues and become a better and stronger community.

Come out for this important interactive forum about the need to make the transition from a cheap-oil economy to a low-carbon, more local society.

Next Meeting

ad0n — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:23:40 +0000

Our next meeting will be based on Open Space Technology. In fact, the entire Transition movement is based on using Open Space Technology.

“We’ve found Open Space Technology to be a highly effective approach to running meetings for Transition Initiatives. In theory it ought not to work. A large group of people comes together to explore a particular topic or issue, with no agenda, no timetable, no obvious coordinator and no minute takers. However, we have run separate Open Spaces for Food, Energy, Housing, Economics and the Psychology of Change. By the end of each meeting, everyone has said what they needed to, extensive notes had been taken and typed up, lots of networking has had taken place, and a huge number of ideas had been identified and visions set out” (Transition Initiatives Primer).

We’ll have more details soon! In the meantime, you can watch this short clip to get the idea: [click here].

Hope you can come out and participate.
