Transition Sagene Omstilling Sagene

Omstilling Sagene is part of the worldwide Transition Town movement, which works to strengthen local communities around the world. The goal is to make local communities less dependent on non-renewable resources and better equipped for climate change and other environmental and societal challenges. At the same time, they want to create stronger communities between people and more vibrant and pleasant places to live. At Sagene, a district in Oslo, practical skills are shared within the local community. This creates a safe and inclusive social environment where everyone can participate. Most of the organisation’s activity is based on voluntary effort, and it arranges free or low-cost courses in practical skills, such as bicycle repair, useful weeds, sourdough baking, pickling, sewing and composting, and creative protest against free parking spaces.
