Permaculture and Transition

The idea of Transition Towns was developed by Rob Hopkins using the skills he had learned through studying permaculture design. Transition means turning away from a world that is driven by fossil fuels, and developing more resilient communities.

Permaculture design is about managing confusing situations and making enough sense of them to make the changes that will bring about a more gentle future. No technical knowledge is needed to study it.

Our Northern School course has provided support and guidance to several Transition groups with their projects - it is the ultimate in “Transition Training”.
