Empowering Youth for troubled times

This guide offers advice and approaches for those working alongside young people across the global Transition Movement and beyond who are taking up the challenge of re-imagining and re-building our world.

There is not one recipe for this work, and certainly not one outcome. But all of the approaches in this guide challenge everyone involved in these learning journeys to ask more and better questions, and be part of building connections and community across difference.

The challenges our societies and their young people face are numerous and varied; from rising seas and food prices, to precarious work and loss of traditional cultures. So, although it is in human nature to think that now is the critical moment, with climate breakdown happening around us I believe my generation has really inherited a unique challenge.

We don’t have the luxury of waiting until we’re older and more experienced to make change happen, which makes the support of peers and elders all the more vital.
