In October 2019, Rob Hopkin's published his book 'What is to What If"
This remarkably uplifting book outlines his journey exploring how imagination and play can transform our lives and help us move towards creating the positive world we all dream of. He advocates that change can come from the streets, with each of us contributing to a wave of new thinking and radical reimagining.

This year Transition Network are presenting a series of webinars called 'Bounce Forward':
By identifying where we are (What is) and imagining (What if) we can get ready to take the 'What now' steps that will create change. The webinars are available on the Transition Network website called BOUNCE FORWARD:
Here are the What is and the What if? videos.
In October 2020, Rob presented a 'visioning activity':
This simple visualisation task that only takes a few minutes. It allows anyone, for a moment, to think about how the future could look in 10 years time, IF we did all the positive actions we know are possible.
Rob introduces the activity in the second half of this webinar (start at 17 minutes) HERE.
There is also in the tool kit which groups like ourselves can use with our local communities.

What are Transiton Northwich doing?
Our members are currently watching these webinars, reading Rob's book and discussing ideas of how we can share the visioning process with lots more people in Northwich. We know local people are already bubbling with ideas and we want to listen to these and invite as many people as possible to imagine a positive future for the town. Then we can work together, involve our decision makers and create exciting positive changes within the near future. Everyone can join in!
