The Localization Action Guide details 146 ways for individuals, communities and policymakers to make a real, hands-on difference in their local areas. It points to key resources, networks and examples to inform and inspire actions with a systemic impact, including the Transition Network!

Transition Summit Catch-up!

by

We hope that those of you who took part in the Transition Networks What Next? Summit found it really inspiring.

2,000 community activists came together across 3 weeks, to listen to over 70 speakers and take part in a mesmerising multiplicity of conversations about positive changes in our communities.

The What Next? Summit aimed to connect up people within and between movements and organisation, to provide inspiration and deep reflective thinking from a diversity of perspectives, to highlight some big picture thinking that enables people to see their role and the role of others in creating change, and to empower people to self-organise and create impactful change.

Transition Bounce Forward hosted nearly 50 events over 3 weeks, exploring climate change, social justice, community organising, collective imagination, and much much more.

If you missed any of the sessions and would like to catch up you can do so via the Transition Bounce Forward YouTube playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzYHfM4__lhlSHeoZiRxcsOnRSBcs0ie6
