Ann Arbor Summer ReSkilling Festival July 15, 2012

Learn skills for resilient, low-energy living. This day-long ReSkilling Festival will focus on hands-on skills, which may include sessions such as bread-making, low-emission wood burning, container gardening, creating a root cellar, natural dyeing and spinning, and raising chickens! Part of the Transition Towns movement, the concept of reskilling is about preparing for our low-energy future by acquiring new skills related to what we eat, wear, use, and live in. As Transition Towns founder Rob Hopkins points out, “We no longer have many of the basic skills our grandparents took for granted.”Reskilling means providing for ourselves and our communities by growing, preserving, creating, building, and teaching.”

Free admission. Materials fees apply for some sessions.
Registration starts at 9:30 am the day of the Festival at Rudolf Steiner.
