On Saturday September 23rd, the Ealing Transition Community Garden will fire up its new home-made pizza oven for Pizza Day. Everyone is welcome to drop in between 1pm and 4pm. Home-made pizza will be cooked in the afternoon and other refreshments will also be available. Come and look around our allotment site and have a drink, a nibble and a chat. Also, new people are always welcome on our ‘plot days’. If you are interested in gardening and want to help out with digging, sowing, planting and harvesting, do come along! Check out the link on the Ealing Transition website: https://ealingtransition.org.uk/community-garden/ for days and times when a key holder is on site.

We hope you can join us for our next event, a showing of part 2 of ‘Tomorrow’, followed by responses from Jo Winter, Chair of Governors at Grange Primary School, and Cllr Binda Rai. As with our showing of the first part of ‘Tomorrow’, there will also be an opportunity for general discussion and sharing of ideas.

Known as ‘Demain’ in France, this French documentary has now been seen by more than 1.5m people and is currently showing in 29 countries. It is a positive, affirmative and inspirational film, exploring creative solutions to environmental problems. It is arranged into 5 chapters: food, energy, economics, democracy and education. On 21st May we will show the sections focussing on democracy and education. We hope that, with the film and responses from Binda Rai and Jo Winters as a starting point, we can develop a really fruitful discussion about what can be done locally to provide a better future in the face of global challenges.

Although there is much to be proud of with education in London, it is not surprising that many people are questioning current educational priorities with problems emerging such as increasing numbers of children suffering from stress at school and needing mental health support. The film shows ways that established approaches and priorities can be revised  and we hope it will prove thought-provoking for everyone who sees it.

Democracy is also in a problematic place with low turnouts for elections and cynicism about politicians. The models shown in ‘Tomorrow’ point to ways of moving towards a more inclusive approach.

The event will be held at St Mary’s Church, St Mary’s Road, Ealing W5 5RH. Entry is free, but donations to help us cover costs will be welcome. We are also going to continue our book exchange pilot, so if you have any unwanted books exploring environmental issues, do bring them along!
