Naresh Giangrande:

The Keys to a Sustainable Tomorrow- Today!

A Transition Towns Future Search Workshop

Naresh Giangrande

Naresh Giangrande, co-founder of Transition Town Totnes, will lead an exploration of using scenario planning to create the steps to a future we want. He will take us on a 2-hour journey through potential futures and allow us to explore the implications of each. This will lead us to the ‘Keys to a Sustainable Culture’. Naresh will bring his many years experience of sustainability and in particular his work in the Transition Towns movement to help us explore the essentials of a sustainable world. We will be looking at both the inner and outer aspects of ‘The Great Turning’ and developing our ability to take a systems approach to problem solving that can be applied to any area of sustainability.
This workshop will be interactive, hands on, fun, and provocative.
