Location: Wimbledon
Members: 14
Latest Activity: Jan 20

The Transition Town model follows 12 steps. We're currently on steps 2 and 3:

1. Set up a steering group

2. Awareness raising - This stage will identify the key allies, build crucial networks and prepare the community in general for the launch of your Transition initiative - films, talks, articles, presentations in exciting groups are great resources!

3. Lay the foundations - This stage is about networking with existing groups and activists, making clear to them that the Transition Town initiative is designed to incorporate their previous efforts and future inputs by looking at the future in a new way.

4. Organise a Great Unleashing
5. Form sub groups
6. Use Open Space
7. Develop visible practical manifestations of the project
8. Facilitate the Great Reskilling
9. Build a bridge to Local Government
10. Honour the elders
11. Let it go where it wants to go...
12. Create an Energy Descent Plan
