In this session, we explore the challenges many Transition Town groups face in becoming truly inclusive—often unintentionally attracting people who share similar backgrounds: typically older, white and middle-class. This lack of diversity can lead to frustration, limited community engagement and a gradual loss of momentum.
Guided by Rakesh ‘Rootsman Rak’, we reflect on the unseen barriers that prevent wider participation and discover practical steps to open up our groups to a broader, more representative range of voices. Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your group's community roots, this session offers grounded, accessible strategies to build more inclusive, vibrant, and resilient initiatives..
