Designed to be a multiplatform project with stories being gathered via a website linking two peninsulas on opposite sides of the planet- Cornwall (UK) and Coromandel (NZ). The transition movement originated in the south west of England with Totnes in Devon becoming the first "transition town". Sustainable living & lifestyles underpin the transition ethos and the development of renewable energy sources, locally grown organic food often sold at farmers markets sometimes with local currency (The Totnes Pound) are part of the movement. It is envisaged that the tales will fall into themes such as water conservation, renewable energy, land use and organic farming and that information exchange and models of good transition practice will emerge that could form the basis for educational video programmes. The New Zealand based c-producer will be David Jacobs, Director of Connected Media in Auckland - www.connectedmedia.org.nz
