Community Resilience Forums – season two 2025

We’re looking forward to inviting you to our second season of Community Resilience Forums this spring and summer in Totnes, exploring three important topics to help us become more resilient in the face of climate change. 

Each Forum will last two hours and include leaders in their field, including local projects and academics, who will invite discussion and debate on these pressing issues of our time.. Season Two themes will be:

·      Alternative economic systems – watch this space, dates and details coming soon.

·      Climate change and mental health – watch this space, dates and details coming soon.

·      Forum co-produced with young people - watch this space, dates and details coming soon.

Organiser and local activist, Dr Viktoria Erlacher-Downing, has a PhD in social justice, mental health and climate change. Having previously worked with Transition Town Totnes on a local food map, Viktoria is looking forward to facilitating this second season of Transition Town Totnes Community Resilience Forums .

She says; “I am passionate about creating accessible spaces where local people, practitioners, activists and experts can come together to learn about and start to tackle threats to our resilience. The themes we will explore in the Community Resilience Forums are pivotal for humans and nature alike and now is the time for people from all different backgrounds to come together and create a positive future.”

We are hugely grateful for funding from the Devon Community Foundation which has made this season of Community Resilience Forums possible.
