CONTENTS

More and more, the Transition movement is looking to social enterprise as the means to build a new and vibrant social economy. But in building a post-oil, low carbon world, how do we ensure that it’s not just people who are well-resourced and well-educated that snap up and run with the ideas?  How do we transition together with the most disadvantaged communities so that everyone can live well and meet their needs?  How can we tackle acute social problems while also growing sustainability, resilience and well-being?

This two day workshop at the National Communities Resource Centre in Chester is for people involved in Transition who want to develop projects in low income areas. It will include sessions on:

  • Understanding resource problems in low income communities
  • Enterprising case studies presented by the people doing them
  • Exercising Transition talents:  Practical, outdoors session to reflect on Transition strengths for working in low income communities
  • Taking it home
