Join Mattias Olsson of Campfire Stories for an inspiring conversation with Rob Hopkins — co-founder of Transition Network and one of the world’s most influential voices in the transition movement. As we gear up for a possible "Imprint Part 2", Rob shares powerful ideas and visions for transition projects that could be featured next – from regenerative farming and local resilience to community energy, relocalisation, social enterprise and grassroots climate action.
In this wide-ranging discussion, we explore: What the Transition movement stands for: resilience, community, local action and hope – as well as the power of imagination – in the face of climate change and resource depletion. Concrete ideas for new transition-style projects around Europe that could be captured on film – community gardens, local food systems, sustainable livelihoods, green grassroots urban and rural initiatives. What inspires Rob: the living, evolving network of initiatives, stories, creativity and social change – rooted in place, people, and shared values. Reflections on how transition projects can foster connection, empowerment and a sense of possibility for a sustainable future.

Why you should watch: If you care about community-led solutions to climate change, resource decline and social fragmentation – this talk will give you inspiration and concrete ideas.
