2023Jun02Ohoka Friday morning Farmes Market
New ZealandOhoka Farmers Market on Friday mornings has been providing locals with local foods since 2009. We are located in Ohoka South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. We operate all year with large markets in summer and small in winter. We celebrate the first market in June 2nd as our mid winter season. But every Friday is a great morning mid winter market occasion to share in the success of the localisation movement. We strongly believe resilient and resourceful communities are created around local food economies. Come and see us in action.
Organizer(s)Ohoka Farmers MarketMany of us are making different choices about what we eat, who we buy our food from and how we grow and make our food. Here in Ohoka we have been making that difference since 2009. This is something to celebrate! Over the decade and more the market has been a place where many different small food artisans and artisan crafters have gathered to sell their wares. After many years of centralised industrial corporate food production some of us became increasingly concerned that ‘conventional’ farming has in fact caused many wide ranging problems not just overseas, but right here in New Zealand. Farmers Market have shaken up the food system, and as a result today we can be confident that with customers support we can access the fresh, local, ethical, sustainable and nutritious foods from the markets. These food producers in particular are redefining and challenging the existing food system as are their customers. Together we are changing the mindset that has enabled the industrial food system to be the force that it has become. This is what food revolution looks like and it’s happening at a local level right here in the Waimakariri.

United Kingdom
2023Jun0811th Totnes Local Entrepreneur Forum
United KingdomThis annual community gathering (since 2012) is aimed at bringing into being a resilient, ecological, just, convivial local economy by creating a forum for 4 or 5 local entrepreneurs to pitch their projects to the Community of Dragons. Over 250 people have played the role of ‘community dragon’ and have made over 1000 ‘investments’. Join us on June 8th and participate in this annual gathering full of solidarity, reciprocity, and positive change. We’ll have lots of opportunity for new entrepreneurs – and old – to connect, build relationships with peers, supporters, investors.
Each year, we have slots for 4 or 5 entrepreneurs to pitch their projects to the Community of Dragons. This is a great opportunity to raise the profile of your venture, as well as to gain financial and or/non-financial investment and support. Our criteria for choosing which ventures pitch:
- enterprise is ethical, sustainable and appropriately local
demonstrates competence through business plan and/or track record - business model does not rely on donations or grant funding
‘investment’ required would allow venture to ‘get to the next level’ – investment could be financial and/or non-financial. - ideally would operate in one or more of the sectors identified in the Local Economic Blueprint – food, renewable energy, housing, health & care
- contributes to the long-term resilience of the community
- one slot is reserved for a youth-led enterprise.

Organizer(s)Totnes REconomy ProjectThe Totnes Reconomy Project, an initiative of Transition Town Totnes, was launched by a small group of enthusiastic community members. We wanted to reverse the negative economic trends affecting the town, but we also wanted to innovate. We wanted to inspire a new kind of economic regeneration that would create an abundance of opportunity for people to meet their needs, and to do so in ways that work with natural systems, are inclusive and fair, and that generally increase the well being of the entire community. These are aspirations, of course, but we have taken the first steps and good things are beginning to happen.

BrazilCelebrating the month of the Environment and the World Localization Day that takes place in June, Kytã Multiétnica, in partnership with Aduba Arte, Corpo e Ancestralidade, Complete Magazine & EcoUniversidade are united and committed in the attempt to create a truly open space to dialogue in a profound way and the quality of the experience and actions that we place in the world.
On June 10th, we will remember the stories of Brazil and design different futures that include our country's ancestry. Re(visit) memories through Art, remember with the heart and, above all, reflect our future in a circle with people who inspire through their regenerative actions, inspiring that it is possible to walk more harmoniously on Earth.
Our June 10th event will feature the special participation of guests Nathalia Nasralla (Aduba & Kytã Multiétnica), Dri Txaraní (Body & Ancestralidade & Kytã Multiétnica), Caique Nucci & Glauber (Complete Magazine), Thais Mantovani (EcoUniversidade), Pajé Bimi, Grupo Horoyá, among others in confirmation.
We are united and committed in the attempt to create a safe, fun and light space that is truly open for us to have a deep dialogue and the quality of the experience and actions that we place in the world. Looking at the ancestry of the peoples who inhabit the territory we call Brazil today.
We count on your presence to flourish this purpose and let something even bigger than we imagine emerge, as we believe in the collective human power to perform as regenerators of social and environmental ecosystems.
Organizer(s)EcoUniversidadeEcoUni exists to change the concept of University. Most of what we learn today no longer fulfills what our beings long for. We can no longer live with habits that destroy our planet. To build paths for a new future we have to change what inspires us, what empowers us, what drives us. We promote regenerative learning with content focused on the future. Our collaborative education is formed by different potentials and includes a plurality of knowledge. We don't believe in a single truth. We encourage everyone to search for one's potential so that together we can promote paths that create better conditions for life on the planet. Guided by a systemic and ecocentric vision, EcoUni encompasses several forms of learning uniting mind, hands and heart, so that we can experience and remember that we are nature.

AustraliaA community gathering to celebrate World Localisation Day with a screening of the short film PLANET LOCAL: A Quiet Revolution, along with a discussion and shared (local) food.
This 50-minute film gives voice to a growing number of people working to protect and restore their local economies, their communities and the natural world.
"Beyond the mainstream media, on the ground in every continent, a quiet revolution is emerging. People are seeking community, collaboration - ways of life that nurture the natural world instead of destroying it - farmers markets, regenerative agriculture,community banking, community exchanges..."
Along with the screening, enjoy a Q&A and empowering discussion with Anja Light from Local Futures, Adrian Nathaniel (sustainable finance), Sally Wood (The Curated Space - a collection of local artisan crafts) and others.
We are aiming to keep this simple with a community feel, so please bring some food to share. Suggested donation of $5 to cover cost of hall.
