Activity of the Month: The Essential Guide to Doing Transition (English & Spanish!)

By rob hopkins 8th December 2016 Culture & Society

We recently published our free, online The Essential Guide to Doing Transition: getting Transition started in your street, community, town or organisation.  It distils many years of experience of the best advice for getting Transition started and enabling it to build successfully.  We are delighted to announce today the publication of the Spanish version, La Guía Esencial para Hacer la Transición: Comenzar la Transición en tu calle, comunidad, pueblo u organización. It was translated by Francisca Escobar, Paloma Correa and Marisela Vanegas with support from El Manzano  in Chile, and Educació per la Vida in Mallorca. French and Italian versions are also in the pipeline. If you’d like to translate it into another language, do get in touch.

Here, one of the translators, Francisca Escobar, explains (in Spanish, then in English below) how the Spanish version came about:

“El Entrenamiento para Entrenadores (Train the Trainers) se realizó en El Manzano, Chile con la participación de más de 30 participantes, y la hábil facilitación de Naresh Giangrande, May East y Raúl Vélez, entre el 25 y el 30 de noviembre 2016.

Una semana antes del comienzo del curso surgió la necesidad y oportunidad de traducir al español el recién estrenado Transition Primer! Una rápida gestión de Rob Hopkins, fundador de la Red de Transición, permitió asegurar el financiamiento para un equipo de tres mujeres que logró traducir y editar el manual en sólo 6 días. Tras 8 días de entrenamiento intensos y revolucionados, los participantes ya tenían acceso a una primera versión del documento en línea en español y que puedes revisar o descargar en este enlace.

El manual es un apoyo concreto para que los participantes del entrenamiento continúen su camino de aprendizaje y facilitación dentro del movimiento de transición, y permitirá a toda la comunidad hispanohablante acceder a los materiales más actualizados que ha lanzado la Red de Transición con su nuevo sitio web.

El entrenamiento de 6 días, intensos y revolucionados, abrió un espacio de comunidad transicionista en Latinoamérica, creando nuevos vínculos y fortaleciendo los existentes entre los participantes de Brasil, Colombia, México, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile (y Alemania!).

Here is a very basic translation of that using Google Translate:

The Train the Trainers took place in El Manzano, Chile with the participation of more than 30 participants, and the skillful facilitation of Naresh Giangrande, May East and Raúl Vélez, between the 25 and 30 November 2016. A week before the beginning of the course, the need arose and the opportunity to translate the new Transition Primer to Spanish! Rob Hopkins, founder of the Transition Network, managed to secure financing for a team of three women who managed to translate and edit the manual in just 6 days.

After 8 days of intense and revolutionized training, participants already had access to a first version of the online document in Spanish and that you can download here. The manual is a concrete support for the training participants to continue their path of learning and facilitation within the transition movement, and will allow the entire Spanish-speaking community to access the most up-to-date materials that the Transition Network has launched with its new website.

The intense and revolutionary 6-day training opened up a transitionalist community space in Latin America, creating new links and strengthening existing ones among participants from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile (and Germany!).
