Moving to Tatura to join 'Play in the Piazza'

Saturday’s Beneath the Wisteria will be a part of Tatura’s Play in the Piazza.

Transitions Tatura stages the Play in the Piazza with the aim of encouraging people, especially children, to engage with fun things without needing electricity or batteries.

This year’s Play in the Piazza is affiliated with the Sustainable Living Festival and among other things will host our usual monthly Beneath the Wisteria.

Convenor, Robert McLean, said this week’s event will reflect upon and consider what George Marshall said when he spoke at a Slap Tomorrow event in Shepparton only last week.

As usual, Saturday’s Beneath the Wisteria will start at 11:00am is open to all and is free. Seating is limited and so people are encouraged to bring their folding chair.

Questions about Saturday can be directed to Robert at 0400 502 199.

Beneath the Wisteria is moving to Tatura, for this Saturday at least

Beneath the Wisteria is on the move.

Stuart Mock Place, Tatura.

Tomorrow it will be a part of “Play in the Piazza” in Stuart Mock Place at Tatura.

Those who normally gather Beneath the Wisteria in Shepparton’s Maude St Mall will join those having fun in Tatura.

Discussions will start at the usual time of 11:30am and continue for about an hour. Shade is plentiful, but seating is not available and so those planning to attend are advised to bring a folding chair.

Tatura Transition Towns organizes Play in the Piazza with the aim of illustrating to children, and their parents, that outdoor fun is still possible without electronic devices dependent on power and oil-based products.

The philosophies of Transition Towns align closely with those of Beneath the Wisteria with both groups considering how communities survive in a decidedly different future.

Transition Towns set out to build resilient communities in an energy depleted future and those who gather each month Beneath the Wisteria discuss community and individual responses to climate change.

The topic for tomorrow’s Beneath the Wisteria in Tatura will be “How do we build resilience in communities?”
