The Training for Transition course is designed to introduce you to a community engagement model for responding and adapting to the threats of climate change, fossil fuel dependence and economic instability. This training will follow the Transition model in paying attention to both the outer work and the inner work necessary for a successful transition process.    The course is participatory, action-learning-based and fun, with participants invited to share their own experience and learn from Transition and other projects represented in the group.
