LAUNCH

Packed with imaginative ways to delve into the practice of Transition, this 2-day course provides practical tools and know-how to set up, run, and grow a successful Transition Initiative. 

We have recently renamed our very successful Training for Transition course, calling it Transition LAUNCH so as to distinguish it from our other core course, Transition THRIVE.

Group mingling

What to expect:

  • Have an experience of Transition.
  • Learn about the early stages of Transition.
  • Experience a personally deepening journey into the inner dimension of Transition.
  • Meet other people involved in Transition initiatives and share experiences, difficulties and successes.

Who is this training for?

This 2-day training is for people who…

  • are new to transition and want to evaluate the model and practice to see if it is for them
  • are part of a TI that is just beginning or about to start
  • want additional skills or awareness in how to communicate about peak oil and other reasons why we need to do transition, fundamental skills around awareness raising, fundamental skills in how to set up and run an Open Space event, or the basic skills in how to create and run a successful initiating group.

Who is training this NOT ideal for?

This 2-day training is not ideal for people who…

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

Cost

We aim to offer our courses at the lowest possible cost, £100-£110 for the two days, because we recognise that most Transition folks are volunteering. We have a price range because there are lots of variables like venue cost, donations, sponsorship etc and each TI's situation is different.  If you can't afford this, then perhaps others in your Transition group can make up the shortfall, or you can try some imaginative crowd funding. A number of full or part bursaries are always available on every course, our aim is to make this two day workshop available to everyone regardless of their financial means.
