Training for Transition

February 28 – March 1, 2009

What we would like you to think about before the training

1) Any information on your Transition Town that you can share, posters you have used, leaflets, brochures, any printed/audio/visual material that you have used or assisted in your TT initiative. This will be a mutual learning environment!

2) Your story is important. Take some time to reflect on your journey regarding Transition.. When did you realise that we needed to make big changes to the way we live.. How did you hear about Transition and what got you interested? Why do you want to be part of a Transition process?

3) Pre course exercise – The Need For Awareness Raising

Have a look at:
• One page of a newspaper
• A few pages of a magazine (include advertisements)
• One news programme on the radio or TV
• (Or any other half an hour of listening or viewing)

For each of the articles or items jot down the main story in a few words
What assumptions about the world underlie the content? What story or beliefs are presented in the mainstream media?
