Description
Description
|
Transition Network is a charitable organisation whose role is to inspire, encourage, connect, support and train communities as they self-organise around the Transition model, creating initiatives that rebuild resilience and reduce CO2 emissions. Transition Training is a self-organizing and resilient training organisation supporting individuals and communities in adopting the Transition model and methods. Participating towns are called "Transition towns".
|
Objectives
|
To support community-led responses to peak oil and climate change through initating groups and community engagement. The following evolving roles are set out for the network:
Role 1: Holding the Transition ‘source code’ - Maintaining an up-to-date description of the Transition story – the what, why, how and where of Transition.
Role 2: Catalysing and supporting the spread of Transition globally - Working to ensure that more people in more countries have access to information, training and other support relating to Transition. One important way we do this is by supporting National Hubs to form, encouraging groups of people to take on the role of supporting, inspiring and connecting Transition initiatives in their country.
Role 3: Co-ordinating and supporting the National Hubs Network - Helping National Hubs to share ideas and inspiration, take collective action and become part of a worldwide learning network.
Role 4: Acting as the UK National Hub - Identifying and developing resources, networks, training and events specifically geared to the UK context and representing the UK within the National Hubs Network.
