Hello Beth

I wonder if you can help me get this circulated to contacts for all  
environmentally-minded student groups - and also let me know if there  
is a list of these with contact emails? Many thanks
Jill



*Are you interested in 2 weeks field course in S.W. England June 4 -- 18?
*

*Transition Connections: *

*Exploring Transition Movements in Totnes & Cornwall*

*FULL DETAILS at GEO website: http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/24443.htm*

An opportunity to visit Totnes a small town in S.W. England, the  
founder location of the /Transition Movement/: a community-building,  
local organizing movement embracing politically diverse aspects of the  
environment, energy, food, local resilience, and creative local  
participation in changing mind-sets, rethinking local resilience,  
re-calibrating ways of envisaging economics, attitudes to daily life,  
building practical, constructive, collaborative initiatives (watch  
Transition 2.0 on YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKN3RLkEGfM>!)

Staying in family homes, the visit will connect you with the workings  
of the transition vision and some of its grounded, innovative  
initiatives and bring you into dialogue with people involved in its  
development, challenges and implementation

Also includes stay at a Transition-linked organic farm in Cornwall and  
visits to the Eden Project  
<http://www.edenproject.com/whats-it-all-about> exploring its world  
climate zone vegetation biomes, and meeting with people from its  
education section to hear about the development strategies of the  
project and its environmental, educational, cultural, and community  
outreach programs and vision -- and a day in St. Ives--at the tip of  
southwest England--an old fishing and art-famous town visiting the  
Tate St. Ives gallery and Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden. //

Totnes is a little town dating from the 10th century (it has a motte  
and bailey built by troops of William the Conqueror), with steep  
winding and cobbled streets) and steps connecting through ancient town  
stone walls. The trip includes plans for walks on Dartmoor hills,  
coastal cliff paths, and a potential kayak exploration of River Dart.
