Rob Hopkins at The Space
Tuesday 7th January 2020, from 7pm.
Come and join us in welcoming Rob Hopkins, Transition Town founder at The Space on 7th January. Rob will be talking about his new book that explores ways we can unleash our imagination and dare to dream about a different way of thinking and doing in relation to how we live in the world.
Expect a positive talk full of ideas about how we can all get involved in making the world - and our own communities - a better place, as well as tackling climate change and ecological breakdown. It's a perfect antidote to the January Blues!
