Clarke University-Envisioning Resilient Communities
March 7th, 2010 by admin
On Wednesday, October 21 Transition Newburyport members Ben Twombley and Conrad Willeman participated in a public symposium, part of the Difficult Dialogues programs held at Clark U. since 2006. This semester’s theme, “Old Forms Give Way: Visioning the New” hosted a presentation on the Transition movement. To begin, Transition Towns Trainer Tina Clarke presented an overview of the Transition model, then representatives of Transition initiatives from around New England related some of their experiences and finally everyone present (about 75, including many Clark U. students) participated in guided dialogues about how to work toward healthier communities.
The day after the presentation an energized Clark U. student formed a Clark University Interest Group on the Transition Massachusetts ning site. Not only for Clark U. students, the group has attracted several Central MA residents interested in Transition.
