There’s loads going on around Transition Darebin at the moment. We had a fantastic Transition in the Pub in collaboration with Friends of the Earth and already the next one, (26th of August) where we are going to talk all things home-brewing, is looking like it’s going to be a corker! The food swaps have been going from strength to strength with a great crew of volunteers and participants and an ever expanding array of food, seeds, know-how and great community engagement. The fruit squad has just passed it’s third tonne of food collected and Our Apple Tree is coming out of it’s winter hibernation to get ready for another season of workshops and ‘tree-bees’. Even the convivial kitchen and Croxton Commons are starting to get some momentum towards a huge year. And that’s just the start, there are cycle events, fun-raising, Permaculture Inner North, Fix-it Newlands and even talk of a ‘Transition Convergence’ with neighbouring Transition Towns on the cards.
But have you ever wondered how this stuff all gets organised! Well Transition Darebin has a co-ordination group. This group doesn’t run all the different groups and activities but aims to coordinate the actions so that it’s easier for people to bring about initiatives and powerful change in their local area.This is an incorporated group so can apply for grants and financial support but it also provides a knowledge and support resource to those who have seen a need and think that they can fill it. Along with this we coordinate liaison with other local groups and councils, publicity and media and a whole lot more (you can check out the different roles that make up this groups at coordination roles).
This is a non-hierarchical group that meets once a month. It’s an open meeting (as most everything is in Transition Darebin) and welcomes people who are looking to really get active in helping to make a more localised, resilient and low energy Darebin. Our meetings run from 7:30 – 9:30 and are always listed on both the Facebook page and the google calender on the website. We have a couple of roles still vacant so if you have been watching TD for a while and would like to suggest an initiative, take a role or just get more active in making it all happen then get along to the next Transition Darebin Coordination Group meeting and let’s make it happen.
Transition Darebin Coordination Meeting
Do you want to get more active in promoting a re-localised and resilient Darebin?
Do you have an idea for a project that TD can help with or a skill that can help us build community engagement?
Are you interested in connecting with other local people who are taking and an active role in addressing climate change and peak everything?
Transition Darebin facilitates many activities and coordinates many groups and individuals who are working towards a stable climate, a localized and resilient Darebin and a strong sense of community empowerment. The Transition Darebin Coordination Meetings are the core of these activities. These are open meetings and all comers are very welcome whether you are a TD original or just want to see what’s going on in your neighbourhood.
This month we’re welcoming our new coordination group and also will be starting down the path of a process called holistic management to ensure clarity, effectiveness and purpose for all that Transition Darebin does from here on.
