“Communities require a better culture of relationships if they are to be fit for the future. A culture in which each individual feels necessary, feels that all the people are interlinked, that they can learn from one another and grow together.”

Prof. Gerald Hüthner in “Communal intelligence: Development of potential in cities and municipalities.”

Energise communal intelligence to the full!

In times when non-voters represent the second largest group and an insidious erosion of liberal, democratic European values appears to be taking place, it is all the more important to involve citizens in the issues which affect them directly at the location and make them part of the decision making processes in addition to the political and administrative bodies.

We can assist in the successful creation of participation processes in communities, whether this involves conducting round table talks on critical community issues, the moderation of a public meeting, the arrangement of future search conferences in communities or the development of a completely individual format for energising civil society, as we achieved with the “Forum Courage Markgräfler Land” for example.

What are the community challenges for which you wish to see a whole new quality in terms of the involvement of citizens or other experts? We will be at your side and we will be delighted to advise you!
