Website objectives

The Transition Network's aim is to "Transition Network's role is to inspire, encourage, connect, support and train communities as they self-organise around the ​transition model, creating initiatives that rebuild resilience and reduce CO2 emissions."

The main Transition Network website (www.transitionnetwork.org) helps by:

• raising awareness of the transition model, and encouraging more people, towns and cities to follow and develop it;
• allowing people and organisations in the movement to share news, resources and training events with each other;
• helping people to access practical training and support - formal and informal.

The main focus of the website is on information and news sharing. Some tools for discussion and collaboration are provided, but the "pull" to develop full-scale social networking tools has so far been resisted, in favour of providing tools to help people meet up in real life (aka. "​meat space") for their socialising and networking.
