Cancelled: Seeding transformation in the 2020’s

Dear All,

It is with regret that we have taken the decision to postpone our ‘Seeding Transformation in the 2020s event until further notice. This follows best available advice to ensure the safety of attendees and to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Although it is sad to pause the creation of our community, we can rest assured that it is the right thing to do at the moment.

At the same time we are thrilled that more than 80 of you from diverse backgrounds have expressed interest in coming together to help produce the urgent transformations required this decade. We will reach out to you all again when we have confirmed a new date for our launch event and we very much look forward to seeing you then.

To all of you who donated to this event, thank you for your support. We have requested Humanitix this morning to refund the full amount. Please be patient with your refund, the platform is dealing with a high volume of requests at the moment.

Wishing you strength and good health,

The Transitions & Social Change Group @UTS

-------------------------------------------------------

We have experienced the unprecedented bushfires in our country for months. This latest manifestation of the climate crisis has affected us all on a very personal level. We have changed…our perspectives have changed. There is an increased awareness of the need for meaningful transformations in all aspects of our society.

We are an important part of these complex systems. We understand that structural change is needed, but how to facilitate it? Can a community come together and start moving Sydney and the country towards radically different futures?

We would like you to be part of a diverse group of people coming together to produce transformations. All are welcome in our first meetup to share experiences, learn from each other, and participate in the creation of this community.

We will be hosting a conversation between Dr. Cameron Tonkinwise, Dr. Chris Riedy and Dr. Lien Pham. They will be discussing the need for deep transformations, sharing promising theories of change, and talking about the importance of design, narratives and social justice in these processes.

A series of participatory activities will be facilitated to discover the values and identity of the group, and an agenda will be set.

Then off for some post-event drinks!
