September 2026: JEDAI

Hi friends,

We're not talking about Star Wars today, but about something very much alive in our community universe. We're proud to share about our imperfect journey on JEDAI: Justice, Equity, Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusion. Our commitment to walking the talk and sharing our learnings with you is very much alive. Take a peak!

In this Transition e-news issue you can follow our JEDAI journey, find out how to become a TNi Trustee, register for the Equinox gathering, the next CTGame, the Hubs meet-up, and read the new entry in the Transition Gathering journal, the photo-report from the Brasil Futures Forum, see the Transition East Asia gathering short film and explore the many possibilities for connection, action and impact all around. Enjoy!

In community,
The Transition Network international team 🌱
