If a Transition University were an animal, this is what it might look like:

A Transition University is functioning well when it is taking account of all its needs as identified by the Transition animal:

• It has a clear vision of what it wants to achieve

• It is an effective group that works well together and has good structures in place

• It works in partnership with others and it networks with other groups

• It is embedded in its community through the community engagement work it has carried out

• It is carrying out practical projects in its community

• It is exploring the Inner dimension of Transition

• It is linked to other Transition Universities / Transition Initiatives so feels part of a movement

• Most importantly people are having fun and enjoy being involved in it.

It REFLECTS on the work it does, learns from these reflections and CELEBRATES
