Welcome
“Change is happening – our choice is between a future we want and one which happens to us”
FADA is a voluntary non-profit organisation committed to building a resilient sustainable community to meet the challenges of climate change, peak oil and economic crisis.
“Be the change you want to see”
FADA is made up of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, ages, political and religious points of view, from home keepers to engineers, gardeners to community workers. All learning and contributing to the collective goal of how to make our communities resilient. Our primary focus is not campaigning against things, but rather on positive, empowering possibilities and opportunities.
“Think global act local “
Resilience is the ability of a system to withstand external shocks we as a society have become heavily dependent on imports of cheap energy, food, manufactured items and on global market economies. We have lost a lot of independent knowledge of how to fix things for ourselves. We have moved away from working as a community
Resilience is very closely determined by the ability of people to respond and work together.
The Transition Network
Fada is a transition initiative and part of a national and international network of initiatives like our own exchanging ideas and best practice - Transition Initiatives dedicate themselves to sharing their successes, failures, insights and connections at the various scales across the Transition network, so as to more widely build up a collective body of experience.
Contribute your brilliance
We need good listeners, gardeners, people who like to make and fix everything, good parties, discussions, energy engineers, inspiring art and music, builders, planners, project managers, community builders.
In short we need your input however small or large to work together to vision, plan and act addressing the challenges and opportunities presented to us in this time of great change
Bring your passion and make that your contribution – if there isn’t a project working here in Newbridge you are passionate about, create one!!
The times we find our selves in need an unprecedented coming together of the broad diversity of society. We dedicate ourselves to ensuring that the decision making processes and our working groups embody principles of openness and inclusion
If you are interested in becoming involved in any of the projects or ideas you find on this website or have some of your own contact us at info@fada.ie.
