The Valhalla Movement. What is a Transition Initiative? It's a place where there's a community-led process that helps that town/village/city/neighbourhood become stronger and happier.

What is a Transition Initiative?

It's happening in well over a thousand highly diverse communities across the world - from towns in Australia to neighbourhoods in Portugal, from cities in Brazil to rural communities in Slovenia, from urban locations in Britain to islands off the coast of Canada. Many of these initiatives are registered on the Transition Network website. These communities have started up projects in areas of food, transport, energy, education, housing, waste, arts etc. as small-scale local responses to the global challenges of climate change, economic hardship and shrinking supplies of cheap energy. Together, these small-scale responses make up something much bigger, and help show the way forward for governments, business and the rest of us.

Is een grootschalige wereldwijde bewustwordingscampagne. Ons doel is om informatie te verspreiden over de vele wereldwijde, gemeenschappelijke problemen en een nieuw economisch model, dat bekend staat als een 'Resource Based Economy', aan zo veel mogelijk mensen ter wereld te presenteren.

We hopen dat door deze nieuwe kennis steeds meer mensen een beter begrip zullen krijgen van de vele wereldwijde problemen, waar ze vandaan komen en naar welke oplossingen we kunnen beginnen te kijken. Door deze deur van kennis te openen hopen we dat veel mensen naar hun eigen waarden gaan kijken en dat ze hun levenspatronen in een nieuwe, en meer constructieve, manier gaan dirigeren. Als wij als beweging ons werk goed doen, door het overbrengen van kennis naar de massa, zullen meer mensen wereldwijd op deze kennis reageren en zullen ze beginnen hun eigen levens te veranderen en kiezen om een betere benadering te hanteren voor hun persoonlijke voetafdruk op de wereld.

One of the main pieces of infrastructure that a resilient community needs is control of its energy generation to the maximum possible extent.

Community renewable energy companies

In terms of the ‘Plugging the leaks’ analogy, every time we pay our energy bills, millions of pounds pour out of our communities that could have stayed there creating jobs and a locally owned energy infrastructure. How possible is it that a community could own and manage significant local energy generation? A few years ago, the answer would have been ‘not very’, but now many successful projects are emerging. Their experience leads to the following suggestions, which apply whichever renewable energy technology is being contemplated. Form a group: A project like this will need a focused team, strong leadership and good, clear group processes.
