European Transition Town Conference

Dear friends from transition initiatives all over Europe,

we are planning a "European Transition Town Conference" as a camp for
next year. It will happen from Wednesday, May 19th to Monday, May
24th, 2010. We invite people from Transition Town initatives and those
interested in the Transition Town movement from all over Europe to
gather in the spring of 2010. The camp will be held in the ecovillage
of Sieben Linden in Northern Germany - an impressive example for a
newly built resilient village (www.siebenlinden.de).

For all who havn't heard about Transition Towns yet: www.transitiontowns.org

About 150 activists from Transition Town initiatives from all over
Europe will come to share their experiences, learn new methods, get to
know each other.and have fun!

For more detailled information about the conference and to
preregister, please visit

FUNDING OF TOTAL COSTS: It is for residents of the EU others than
Germans to apply for a Grundtvig-grant for the conference - that grant
includes the course fee, a lump sum for food and lodging and the
travel expenses. But you have to apply soon! (In Germany, the deadline
would be January 15th, but it can differ from country to country. For
more detailled information about the
funding, please visit http://www.siebenlinden.de/content.php?p=9971).

Because of the tight deadline we ask you to spread these news in your
networks as soon as possible and to ask all people that might be
interested to preregister and to apply for the funding. It is a unique
possibility to participate in an interesting conference about the
transition movement, to get to know the ecovillage of Sieben Linden
and to share your experiences with other initiatives from all
over Europe. And all that - if you get the funding - without any costs!

We are looking forward to meeting you all in Sieben Linden next year!

For all Germans reading this mail, check for prices for German
participants in February 2010, they will be different/cheaper then!

Sincerely,
Julia Kommerell (Sieben Linden)
