The Youth Exchange “Transition in Action” under the Erasmus+ Programme took place from 20st July (arrival day) till 2nd August (departure day) 2015 in Hungary, Kunbábony a village situated 80 km to the South of Budapest in a beautiful rural setting, in a peaceful homestead used for educational and training purposes in Kunbábony, Hungary. The homestead is run by a cooperative, the Adács-bábony Social Cooperative. Why Transition? Because local communities around the world are searching for new ways of being in the 21st Century; experimenting with new ways of cooperation, sharing wealth more fairly, creating meaningful livelihoods, appreciating the natural world and respecting the limits it imposes on us. These inspiring community based initiatives are growing around Hungary as well, since the difficult circumstances (high unemployment, social misery, dependence on costly public services) open people's mind to find alternative solutions for a more healthy, peaceful and secure way of life. Community gardens, farmers' markets, urban bee-keeping, repair and up-cycle workshops are all offering new forms of collaboration for all kinds of people and their wider communities. The Transition in Action Youth Exchange was a "reality gathering", brought together 30 young people in a 'rural lab' setting to support them in creating together their own transition community from the resources around them. From Hungary, Slovenia, Macedonia, Turkey, Romania and Italy, they gathered for 13 days to get to know each other and to explore the ideas of 'transition': how nature, communities and sustainable lifestyle are connected and how, by using resources wisely, we can lead sustainable lifestyles. Through games, debates, excursions, creative workshops, and practical hands-on work, the participants experienced what it means to share ideas and cooperate, and to collaborate to bring alive their own "settlement" with the resources around them.
