Once you have established a Transition University project you will probably want to reflect on how to maintain its momentum. We have touched upon several ways that you do can this. It is great to keep doing practical projects and on-going community engagement activities as this not only keeps Transition alive in the eyes of the university community, but it also offers inspiration for new people to become involved. So refer back to both those sections and be creative, try new things out and most importantly make
sure that people are having fun.
Sustaining
Reflecting on how your group is doing and celebrating what you have achieved is an essential part of Transition and help sustain momentum through:
• Understanding your impact helps you to know if you are being effective and moving towards your vision for your community
• Understanding how your group is doing internally so you understand where to focus your effort and celebrate your successes
This work can be considered part of a general reflection or integration phase of your Transition journey, and we have grouped it under the following topics:
• Celebration - if it’s not fun, it’s
not sustainable
• Reflection - observing, learning,
and reevaluating
• Continuity - creatively using change
