### Lovely project potentially coming to a Transition Initiative near you

We recently received notice of a project called Otesha UK. There are two elements to it:

- the offer of a workshop or performance
- the opportunity to volunteer

### Here’s what they told us about the performance and workshops

> In 2011 two groups of 18-28 year-olds cycle across the UK, living as a sustainable, consensus-based community, delivering workshops and performing a play in schools and youth clubs. We had a great response from the Transition Town movement last year, and I’d be really grateful if you could include a note about the summer tours in your next newsletter, as we’ve still got a few spaces left. A description of the volunteer opportunity is below – feel free to shorten if need be.  
>  
> The two tours are going here:  
>  
> Northern Soul 10th June – 23rd July  
>  
> Starting in Snowdonia the team will be navigating north through the stunning Yorkshire Dales and the lovely Lake District, cruising from coast to coast and spinning into Scotland.  
>  
> Tartan Trail 5th August – 17th September  
>  
> With Edinburgh as the first stop this team will gallivant through glens, amble along outstanding Scottish coastline and roll around picturesque woodlands.  
>  
> If we’ll be near you and you’d like to coordinate a visit, give us a call on 0207 377 2109 or email cycletours@otesha.org.uk.  
>  
> Many thanks

### Here’s what they told up about the volunteering opportunity

> Gear up for a two-wheeled revolution – join a 2011 Otesha UK cycle tour!  
>  
> Do something worthwhile with your summer! Join an Otesha summer cycle tour, deliver workshops and perform a play about environmental and social sustainability in schools and youth clubs as you cycle across the UK. There are two tours to choose from: Northern Soul (10th June – 23rd July) and Tartan Trail (5th August – 17th September).  
>  
> We’ll be taking in the delights of the UK from our saddles, performing a play, making the world a better place, learning new skills (bike maintenance, theatre, consensus decision-making, sustainable and group living… the list goes on), meeting new friends, and generally making mischief.  
>  
> If you’re 18 to 28 and passionate about creating a sustainable future, then come ride with us. Find out more at www.otesha.org.uk/cycletours. Places are first come, first served, so get your skates on!  
>  
> If you have any questions or would just like to have a chat about it, then give us a call on [0207 377 2109](tel:0207%20377%202109) or email [cycletours@otesha.org.uk](mailto:cycletours@otesha.org.uk).
