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.
