Transition Leicester Awareness Raising Group
The Awareness Raising group was formed in May 2008. If you would like to get involved with this group, contact us on transitioncity [at] freeuk [dot] com.
Awareness Raising Group Aims
The group aims to spread awareness in Leicester about Climate Change and Peak Oil and the Transition response to these issues. We aim to take this message out to businesses, organisations and the general public, in a variety of ways - anything from Powerpoint presentations to Transition Leicester t-shirts and short films.
Our plans
We intend to spread the word about Transition Leicester in many ways, through things like:
- presentations to groups and organisations in the city
- stalls at public events
- guest speaker events and film showings
- producing literature (fliers, booklets, magazines)
- working with local schools/colleges/universities
Talks/Collaboration
If you would like someone from Transition Leicester to come and give a talk/workshop for your organisation/group, then we'd be happy to oblige. Drop us a line or call 0116 2103637.
We're also keen to find partners with whom we can collarobate - whether that's through contributing to educational courses, having a stall at events, or organising joint events. Get in touch if you have ideas for working with us.
Meetings
Our first meeting took place on friday 16th May 2008. Minutes can be read here. We brainstormed the activities we'd like this group to carry out, and made plans for upcoming stalls and a speaker training event.
Our second meeting was on Saturday June 21st. We informally discussed how to effectively communicate our message both on stalls and through a powerpoint talk.
Our next step was hosting a Transition Network course on speaking skills for Transition talks. This took place on Tuesday 9th September at the West End Community Centre. We'll now be looking to put the great skills we learnt during that day to get out and about in Leicester giving talks to local people.
