The arts are a vital part of HOW OTHERS SEE US / HOW WE COMMUNICATE, and can make a great difference in terms of how an initiative is perceived. They play a key part in AWARENESS RAISING from the very first events onwards. They also play a key part in the ROLE OF STORYTELLING and producing MEANINGFUL MAPS.
An Unleashing is the culmination of your initiative’s AWARENESS RAISING work, offering the opportunity for CELEBRATING what it has already achieved, where it might go, as well as the culture of the place. As you start BUILDING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS an Unleashing can be a powerful way of publicising those new connections.

As I am working on drafting these various patterns, or ingredients, of Transition, I will no doubt from time to time chuck questions at you… today I would love to know whether your Transition initiative has an office, or whether it even wants one. Does your initiative run from a collection of virtually-linked kitchen tables? Have you deliberately decided to remain light and nimble and officeless? Or do you have an office, or some other space from which you operate? If so, how do you fund it? What happens in it? What benefits has it brought? Please share your stories, I can’t guarantee they’ll all end up in the final document, but I’ll try my best! Thanks folks….
Context
In terms of practical activities, awareness raising is where you start. Your success, or otherwise, in doing it well will be a key factor in how successful your initiative is going forward. It will be a key part in your BUILDING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS (2.12) and in sustaining MOMENTUM (3.6).
Well yesterday’s first one went very well, some great comments, thanks all. Today’s pattern is about the Project Support concept.
Context
This pattern is a key part of BECOMING A FORMAL ORGANISATION, offering an underlying principle designed to ensure that the key focus of the initiative is its WORKING GROUPS and PRACTICAL MANIFESTATIONS and the role of the rest of the organisation is to support those.
