We are delighted to present our new film, ‘8 days @ COP21’.  It captures those days last December when the climate negotiations took place in Paris, and the experiences of some of the Transitioners who were there.  Thanks to our wonderful team of crack Transition volunteer translators in Paris, we are able to offer the film with both English and French subtitles (just click ‘Settings’, then ‘Subtitles/CC’ and then choose your language).  We really hope you love it.  

Nous sommes ravis de vous présenter notre nouveau film ‘8 jours @ COP21’.  Il saisit ces jours de décembre dernier pendant lesquels les négociations climatiques ont eu lieu à Paris, et les expériences de certains des Transitionneurs qui étaient présents.  Grâce à notre équipe de choc de traducteurs bénévoles du groupe de Transitionneurs parisiens, nous avons la possibilité de vous proposer le film avec les sous-titres à la fois en anglais et en français (pour cela, il vous suffit de cliquer sur "Settings", puis "subtitles/CC" et ensuite vous pouvez choisir la langue que vous souhaitez). Nous espérons sincèrement que vous allez l’apprécier.
