Amazing news!

We are delighted announce that the first country specific Take the Jump website has been launched, for New Zealand. www.takethejump.org.nz ❤️🌏

By signing up to Take the Jump via this website ‘jumpers’ will be linked into everything going on in New Zealand for Take the Jump.

This was a process lead by local Take the Jump groups (more news on the amazing things they’ve been up to coming soon), and included a top to bottom review of Take the Jumps resources and tools to ensure they are appropriate to the local context.

This included incorporating a Maori cultural framing to the content, as well as Maori translations of key phrases and Maori imagery.

Also, in recognition of the importance of nurturing the local environment and ecosystem to Maori and wider New Zealand culture in general, a seventh Shift was added: Get Planting. More detail on this soon.

We’re working on expanding our resources and support for different countries around the world, including non-English language versions of websites and resources.

Just to note, anyone anywhere can sign up and Take the Jump on takethejump.org, and you’ll be linked into this global movement, and able to access all our support and resources, where ever you are. Local websites and resources just help us provide more focused support.

Happy Jumping everyone, as always let us know if you have any questions at: [email protected] ❤️

Here we are at Hitchin Eco Day on Saturday 5th August promoting Take the Jump - six shifts to bring your life into balance - with

Despite the rain lots of people were in town and many came over to find out what it’s all about!

Big thanks to Rachael, Katie, Ann, Peter and Vicky for manning the stall - the survey results are in - see below!

As usual ‘no personal vehicles’ presents the biggest challenges but it’s great to see how many Hitchinites have made some of the shifts already and were happy to be nudged a little further once they knew it would make a real difference.

Hertfordshire Take the Jump have had a fantastic start to their journey! With stalls and events at various fairs and festivals around the county, they are championing the message far and wide! This picture is of their stall at Letchworth Food, Drink and Craft Festival on 15th-16th July. Hats off to them for spreading the word in places that wouldn’t normally talk about sustainability. Their ‘sticky dot’ interactive board was a great way of engaging the public to share their thoughts and feelings about each of the shifts. Check it out below. They are sharing this with their council as it’s valuable information about the barriers people face in taking the shifts. What a great way to approach the 6th shift: Change the System! Great work, Hertfordshire! Stay tuned to hear about what they get up to next 🌏
