Relocalization Workshop:
Preparing Our Communities for the End of Cheap Oil
April 1: All-Day Relocalization Workshop
WHERE: Humanist Hall, 390 27th Street, Oakland, CA 94612
WHEN: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
 How can individuals foster awareness in their community of the need to live sustainably? This workshop draws from the instructors' experience in Willits, California, where the need to "localize" food, energy and the production of basic goods has garnered broad political appeal. Learn how to frame messages around common values, motivate action based on the tension between fear and desire, and explore some "how-to" guidelines for organizing communities around an economic relocalization agenda.
Instructors: Jason Bradford and Brian Weller, Willits Economic Localization Project
Featuring:
- Hands-on instruction from the Willits Economic Localization Project organizers
- Morning and Afternoon Sessions Covering:
- Fostering public awareness of the need to relocalize
- Using the "Inventory, Vision, Plan, Action" process
