Courses

We currently offer two core courses that introduce and develop the idea of a Transition initiative:

  1. LAUNCH
  2. THRIVE

In addition, we are road testing a course that addresses working effectively in groups, currently offered by trainer Nick Osborne, called Effective & Enjoyable Groups. 

If you are trying to choose between these courses, which description below best matches your situation?

Are you…

  • just getting started
  • wondering how to bring visioning to your community
  • needing inspiration
  • looking for “Transition Basics”… what’s the right scale for a Transition Initiative, what works for others, etc
  • interested in understanding “Climate Change Basics”?

Go to Transition LAUNCH

Are you…

  • part of an established TI that is moving from the start-up phase into creating local resilience
  • joining an existing TI and who are looking to gain useful skills and insights into their next steps in Transition
  • working with or for local government
  • looking for ways to sustain momentum
  • from another environmental group but interested in gaining additional skills and insights into creating community resilience?

Go to Transition THRIVE

 Are you...

  • losing the will to live in meetings
  • feeling it would be easier to do it yourself
  • frustrated and held back by others in your team
  • afraid of conflict
  • unhappy about power dynamics but unable to do anything about it
  • convinced that working in groups shouldn’t be this hard?

Go to Effective & Enjoyable Groups

We also teach a 1-day course, TALK, that enables participants to give a Transition presentation. 

Ready for more? There's a 'Train the Trainers' course called Transition TRAIN.

There's one more course that's taking shape based on building local social enterprise.  This is linked to our REconomy Project.  Here's a definition of what a typical Transition enterprise might look like.
