Overview

Join an innovative process to bring a transformative model of systems change to grassroots and organisational social and environmental action.
The Positive Tipping Points Toolkit has been developed by a small group of practitioners over the last 12 months, and is now ready to be used in practice. Join this Huddle to discover the toolkit, and how you can use it in your work, and help develop it into something that can be shared more widely with individuals and organisations working on transformation at all levels of scale.

Is it for me?

Do you support others in social and environmental change? Do you thrive when learning with others? Are you energised by working in complexity and systems?
You might be a facilitator or coach, keen to add the Positive Tipping Points Toolkit to your work. Or perhaps you are part of an organisation or group looking to better understand and explore your potential impact in the face of complex interconnected crises. We will all bring our own stories of change to this work, and collectively test and refine the Toolkit into something that can be opened out into the wider world.

Do it to...

1.

Learn, practice, and co-develop new ways to engage others in how complex systems work, and can be changed

2.

Share your stories of change, and learn from others, increasing our collective resilience in the face of overwhelming crises

3.

Help present the work at the 2025 Global Tipping Points Conference, in front of world-leading experts

The Journey

Meeting every two weeks, we will start with a journey through the existing Positive Tipping Points Toolkit, before reshaping it into something new.
We will begin with getting to know each other, and our own stories of change, using the PTP Toolkit as a guide. Over the next months, we will each have the chance to take an aspect of the toolkit - which could be something missing - and work on it in our own contexts. Towards the end we will bring it all together, with the opportunity to share the new Toolkit at the 2025 Global Tipping Points Conference.

"I don’t know anyone else who can pick up on, and navigate between the various needs of individuals in a group in the way that he does."
