Many people have been in touch to ask about transport to the gathering and we're really happy to hear that some of you are looking for alternative ways to travel other than by plane.
We are living in urgent times, and with Greta Thunberg
sailing into New York last week to take part in the UN climate summit it seems that the world is waking up to the environmental impact of flying.
As the African proverb often quoted by
Bayo Akomolafe says, "the times are urgent, let us slow down." We appreciate that it's not always financially or practically possible to travel the 'slow way', but for those of you that can we encourage you to consider this option. Not only is it more environmentally friendly, but who knows who you might connect with, or what will emerge, along the way.
We have created this Facebook group to help you to coordinate and cocreate your journey with fellow travellers.
