The Awareness-Raising working group has public outreach as its primary focus. It is an important part of the Transition Town mandate to promote awareness in the community of the key issues around the urgent need to begin the transition to a lower energy, more localized future: particularly Peak Oil, Climate Change and increasing instability in the global economic system. The Awareness-Raising working group hosts film screenings, public talks, orientation presentations and other public events to inform the community.
