How does Transition Leicester engage with communities?

I recently participated in  a focus group for a master dissertation. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the strategies implemented by Transition groups to encourage the spread of low carbon communities.

One of the question asked was how does Transition Leicester engage with communities?

The truth of the matter is that Transition do not engage with communities.
Transition engage with individuals who want to use our platform to express their vision for the future as well as their own identities. Communities only emerge out from individuals desires' for cohesion and belonging. It is within frame of reference or gathering of voices that connecions are created.

As Seth Godin put it, we are not crowdsourcing energy, we are bobsourcing.

She realised that she was not scared of expressing what she feels, what she did not want was to be put in a position where she will become aggressive and angry after being triggered by his taunts because tr...

Ambivalent feelings about staying or leaving

Do you want to stay in one place and be rooted to ground yourself in a specific environment? Do you want to be leaving and go to different places to elevate yourself? Can you do both at the same time? Yes you can do both, do not ever think that where you are is static, the place is constantly changing and it is within the details that you can find new meaning for oneself and if this is not enough, plan time in and go to come back different..
