This two-day course is designed to give you a detailed introduction to the most important skills necessary to successfully set up, develop, and run a Transition project in your community. It is designed for people who are already in a group working to achieve this, or are thinking of creating such a group.

By the end of this course, you will:

- Have a clear understanding of the context for Transition Initiatives, the current global situation, and the transformational possibilities that arise from climate
change, peak oil and the economic crisis.

- Know what the Transition model is – including an in-depth look at the 12 steps, from setting up the initiating group, all the way to having active and effective working groups.

- Understand how to organize effective meetings such as public talks, open space days, and small-theme working groups.

- Have the outline of an effective and inspiring talk on the Transition movement.

- Form useful contacts with other Transition Initiatives and individuals interested in the Transition model.

- Have a plan of action for yourself and your community.

This training will follow the Transition model in paying attention to both the outer and inner work necessary for a successful transition process. The course is participatory, action-learning-based, and fun, with participants invited to share their own experience and learn from the many different transition projects represented in the group.

REGISTRATION: $150 before November 15th, $175 after. Includes lunch, snacks, and refreshments both days. Need-based scholarships are available. To register, please click here: http://bit.ly/RiYlzq.
