Why Transition? And why now?
At its heart, Transition is about reimagining and reshaping our world, responding to big global challenges as well as those specific to our place, through local, practical, human-scale action, together with other people. It’s an antidote to feeling over-whelmed and under-powered in the face of the complex problems of our times.
