“Transition is the most vital social experiment of our times. The Transition movement has already motivated thousands to begin to adapt their lives to the twin challenge of peak oil and climate change.” Tim Jackson author of Prosperity Without Growth

Increasing numbers of people are waking up to the urgent need for major changes to our way of life and the systems that support it. At the same time many remain committed to believing that the old way will solve everything. With few resources the Transition movement has inspired effective action in hundreds of communities across the world — from major cities to rural hamlets, from wealthy towns to the slums of Sao Paolo — to work towards inclusive, relocalised and sustainable ways of living.

This two week course looks at the Transition experiment through stories and models of change. What is the transition that is needed at this time? What supports engagement and shift in behaviour, for individuals, organisations and communities? What stories do we know of other cultures that have made the transition to a peaceful, inclusive and sustainable way of living? And what is it about Transition that has created such a widespread engagement around changing how we live?
