Following on from last month’s learning link, check out the latest nef newsletter .  There is link in this to a pod-cast of an event  called ‘The Great Transition’, held in London in October. Speakers/contributors include Caroline Lucas MP, Vivienne Westwood, Professor Jayati Ghosh, Professor Tim Jackson, Ann Pettifor and Rosie Boycott, as well as nef's own Stewart Wallis, Nic Marks and Andrew Simms. You can also download a PDF of it.

There is also a link to ‘Right Here, Right Now’ (no not the Rugby World Cup anthem!) – a publication about taking co-production to the mainstream. The report charts ways of co-producing for public services, especially in coalition government.
