we get the following invitation:

Dear friends from transition initiatives all over Europe, we are planning a “European Transition Town Conference” as a camp for next year. It will happen from Wednesday, May 19th to Monday, May 24th, 2010. We invite people from Transition Town initatives and those interested in the Transition Town movement from all over Europe to gather in the spring of 2010. The camp will be held in the ecovillage of Sieben Linden in Northern Germany - an impressive example for a newly built resilient village (http://www.siebenlinden.de).
For all who havn’t heard about Transition Towns yet: www.transitiontowns.org
About 150 activists from Transition Town initiatives from all over Europe will come to share their experiences, learn new methods, get to know each other.and have fun!
For more detailled information about the conference and to preregister, please visit www.siebenlinden.de/content.php
FUNDING OF TOTAL COSTS: It is for residents of the EU others than Germans to apply for a Grundtvig-grant for the conference – that grant includes the course fee, a lump sum for food and lodging and the travel expenses. But you have to apply soon!
(In Germany, the deadline would be January 15th, but it can differ from country to country. For more detailled information about the funding, please visit www.siebenlinden.de/content.php.
Because of the tight deadline we ask you to spread these news in your networks as soon as possible and to ask all people that might be interested to preregister and to apply for the funding. It is a unique possibility to participate in an interesting conference about the transition movement, to get to know the ecovillage of Sieben Linden and to share your experiences with other initiatives from all over Europe. And all that - if you get the funding - without any costs!
We are looking forward to meeting you all in Sieben Linden next year!
For all Germans reading this mail, check for prices for German participants in February 2010, they will be different/cheaper then!

Sincerely,
