This course is filling up so quickly that we decided to add a second session time!

Formerly known as Transition Launch Training, has been designed to introduce current and aspiring social change activists to a regenerative approach to community leadership. Developed collaboratively over the past 14 years by more than 1,000 local Transition Initiatives in 50 countries worldwide, the Transition approach to cultivating more resilient, just, and sustainable communities from the bottom up has proven to be effective in a wide variety of contexts from big cities to rural areas, engaging and inspiring people from all walks of life.

Over the course of eight bi-weekly sessions from August 14 to December 3, you will build mutually-supportive relationships with other participants, develop new skills and knowledge, create your own personal action plan, and receive guidance for overcoming the specific challenges you are facing.

Please note that live meetings will be held every other week on Thursdays from 11:00am to 12:30pm Pacific and 4:00 to 5:30pm Pacific, starting on August 27th. Once you register, we will send you an email asking for your preferred time.

How does It work?

This training will consist of a series of eight pre-recorded lectures from experienced Transition leaders, as well as eight 90-minute live Zoom meetings featuring interactive exercises and group discussions. We will also provide you with supplemental resources to explore, and access to an online discussion forum that you can use to ask questions and continue conversations in between live meetings.

Please don't worry if you’re not familiar with online learning. We will ensure that everyone who registers for this course receives clear, easy-to-follow instructions and ongoing technical support.

"The wealth of resources online prior to each session really accelerated my knowledge base/understanding and moved me forward in my thinking about what I can do. It was such a privilege to be close to so many accomplished activists for an hour or so and to hear from them directly about their engagement."

What topics are covered?

Topics covered during this training include:

How to make sense of our fast-changing and increasingly complex world,
How to harness the power of positive vision to inspire others to action,
How to form and nurture high performance in collaborative groups,
How to catalyze a diverse and vibrant movement for change in your community, and
How to build and maintain inner resilience while doing the work that you love.

This online version of our most popular training is a unique opportunity to engage in a dynamic, international learning cohort from the comfort of your own home, at a lower cost and with a smaller carbon footprint than traditional face-to-face offerings.

"The variety of participants and presenters helped me open up to and integrate a larger sense of possibility while deepening my grasp of what "Transition" can mean.

Who is it for?

This course is open to English speakers all over the world and will be highly beneficial for anyone interested in collective responses to address global climate change, further social justice, increase democratic participation, transform local communities, and prepare for an uncertain future.

"I really benefited from experiencing the work and humanity of people I would otherwise never have had any contact with during a face-to-face process. Getting to know one another, even superficially, pulled me into a process that firmed up my own thoughts/feelings/commitment."
