December 2014: Immediate
Fiesta Solidaria

(Doors open 7.30)
St Matthews Church Hall
Summerland Road, Exeter EX1 2LJ
A party
and shared feast will be held by Transition Exeter on Thursday December 11th
to celebrate innovative community economic projects in many countries,
including Greece, Portugal, Spain, Japan and the UK. Inez Aponte, facilitator and storyteller, and
Jay Tompt, green business consultant, both from the UK, have founded the Well & Good Project which aims to spread innovations in community-led
economics, based on genuine human needs and wellbeing.
Over
the last few years they’ve been travelling to offer training courses and
workshops in social and economic regeneration with community groups in many
countries across Europe. Now they are bringing back the stories.
They
emphasize the current wave of new economic thinking, which seeks to promote
equality and inclusion, respect for the Earth’s natural limits and care for the
health and wellbeing of current and future generations.
On Thursday December 11th Inez and Jay are inviting
people to celebrate the inspiring community action they’ve witnessed on their travels. It's an opportunity to come together, share
food and drink, enjoy local musicians, gain inspiration from the countless
ordinary people making the world a better place at this very moment.
The “Fiesta” will
also reflect stories of economic innovation in Exeter, including the Exeter
Pound project and Exeter Community Energy Company. Bring food and drink to
share (or donations).
