Catrina Pickering

Catrina started at the Transition Network as Diversity Co-ordinator in March 2010. 

Catrina began to find out and learn about climate change and peak oil in early 2007 and decided that this was the most important issue of our time. 

She has since worked as the Coordinator for Winchester Action on Climate Change and more recently as the Mobilisation Project Manager for the Climate Outreach and Information Network (COIN) where she undertook mobilisation projects with low carbon communities, refugees/ migrants, trade unions etc.



She has also worked in human rights, community regeneration and HIV/AIDS.  Catrina has a strong passion and interest in diversity and the ways in which a community can become more resilient by utilising the ideas and skills of the diverse peoples that make up that community. 



She has lived in India and Mexico as well as many towns, cities and villages in the UK.  She has been a practising Nichiren Buddhist for most of her life and among other pass-times enjoys being in nature, spending time with people, swimming and most recently learning to dance flamenco.
