Transition US is currently partnering with the Hubs group of the international Transition Network to harvest stories of Transition initiatives and related organizations who are working closely with their local governments to build resilience and foster positive change. The initial deadline to submit case studies is Saturday, September 30th, so if you think you might have something that fits this bill, don't delay!
Projects that are selected to proceed to Stage 2 in October 2017 will receive a portion of the $21,000-$27,000 that has been allocated to provide seed-funding for Municipalities in Transition activities. Out of these Stage 2 projects, three will be chosen for a full pilot in 2018.
Municipalities in Transition has been launched in an effort to establish a clear framework for how Transition groups and local governments can best collaborate. This will involve developing a strong evidence base as well as a vibrant community of practice, which will support more decision-makers to engage with Transition-inspired approaches.
Here are just a few great examples of how this is already happening around the world:
If your case study is not quite as robust as those described above, don't worry! You are welcome to submit projects in all stages of implementation: design stage, just started, fully developed, going on for a long time, or recently concluded (over the past year).
