Tafelen over transities : een analyse van small wins door de Participatie Tafel Regionale Netwerken (PTRN)

A Participation Table Regional Networks (PTRN) has supported various projects in the past three years to further the transition to a sustainable society through new arrangements, ranging from area cooperatives to food councils. This report analyzes to what extent the small wins approach can help to better estimate the results of these projects and to take them further. Small wins are small but profound changes with tangible results. Nine projects have been selected where potential small wins are emerging. Potentially, because there are many nice ambitions and innovative ideas, but concrete results or real profound change is not always visible. This is partly because the projects are still at an early stage and come up against barriers in existing government and market institutions. Action perspectives have been developed in interaction with those involved to further spread, broaden and deepen these small wins. One of the conclusions is that PTRN has initiated a lot, but that the possible support functions of the PTRN have not yet been fully utilized and have not been structurally embedded and thus secured. This is necessary to initiate (germinate) and advance transitions.
