You can find out more about the Transition movement by looking at the Transition Towns website, the Transition Network web-site or the Transition Culture web-site. The Transition Primer is also a very good place to start, as is Rob Hopkins' book, "The Transition Handbook" (we can sell you one for Ł12, or you can buy one from Libra Aries bookshop on Mill Road). There's also the "Who we are and what we do" document (0.5MB pdf), which gives a concise summary of the objectives and ways of working of Transition.

Setting up new Transition groups

We welcome everyone to take a leading role in setting up new Transition groups, either topic based (e.g. on housing, waste etc) or neighbourhood based (e.g. Transition Arbury, Transition Trumpington etc). We have put together some guidelines to help you get started:

Transition Training

The Transition Network have created a training weekend that is specially designed for those interested in setting up, running, and maintaining a successful transition initiative. It is packed with imaginative and inspiring ways to delve into both the theory and practice of Transition. If you're hoping to start a group, or have already done so, this is a great way to learn the skills you'll need. We're hosting one in Cambridge on 5-6 September - more info here.
