Programme



Friday, 10th October

Transition Scotland Network Gathering

9.30-12.30, Glass Class, St Andrews Botanic Gardens, Canongate

Gather with Transitioners old and new in the bright and airy setting of the Glass Class in the St Andrews Botanic Gardens. Whether your group is going strong, is just getting started, or is somewhat burnt out, we’d love to hear your story as we pool our experiences to create a snapshot of Transition in Scotland today, share our visions of how we see Scotland transitioning to a resilient future, and plan how we’re going to achieve it!
With only a few hours to play with, we thought it might be worthwhile if you come along with some thoughts in your mind. As such we’d like you to get a bit of A3 paper (if possible or 2x A4’s joined together) and within it write and compose your own groups potted history. Ideally a sketch of a journey you have been on from inception of your org and the key peaks and troughs you’ve been through.
We’ll use these on the morning opening session to give a flavour to others of who you are and what your own story is, and if possible we’ll bind them together somehow into a little book where each A4 page unfolds.
If you would like to join us for this event you would be very welcome – please select the appropriate option when booking your ticket for the Friday afternoon and/or Saturday. If you wish to attend ONLY the Friday morning session please email transition@st-andrews.ac.uk to book your place.

We will meet anyone who is unsure of how to find the Botanics at the Bus Station to do the 10 minute walk to the Glass Class together. If you are arriving by car you can park by the Botanics. The Glass Class will be signposted from the main entrance.
9.30 Welcome, Introductions and Catch up

What have you been up to in your Transition group lately? A relaxed catch-up session to share experiences and thoughts on what has been happening in Transition in Scotland since last we met.


10.30 Where are we now and what does the future hold?

In the independence debate there was a lot of focus on how much oil Scotland has, but what alternatives are there to oil exploitation, how do we go about them and how will they affect the rest of Scottish society? The discussions will be introduced and framed by leading academics in the field.
