Sharing learning
There is an enormous potential for sharing learning on sustainability initiatives within universities. In the UK, there have been several conferences looking into this very topic. Such conferences provide students within the Transition University with an opportunity to practice their research ability, organisational skills, relational and administrative skills, all important for facilitating their further careers.
One example was a Keele student activism conference. The Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges also hosts regular workshops, conferences and networking events.
There is also the opportunity within Transition Universities to visit each other, host workshops, energise and inspire each other.
