Project Description:
The project is focused on deepening cooperation with public at the level of municipalities and regions. The aim is to make it easier for citizens to participate in planning processes, and to improve know-how in the participation of politicians and public officers.
Czech municipalities have come a long way in the area of citizen involvement, but there is still room for improvement – especially in working with specific groups of citizens. There is an interest in education and methodological support, especially among newly elected politicians or new public officers. This follows from the experience of the HCCZ as a municipal association operating in the Czech Republic for 30 years, but also from surveys among municipalities and from selected documents.
In response to the identified problems, several groups of activities have been prepared: work with children and youth (planning meetings, round tables, examples of good practice), work with politicians (sharing of experiences in Nor. and Czech environment, education), innovative participatory activities (emotional maps, work with more difficult groups), methodological and educational support for municipalities (training, seminars, conferences).
HCCZ will cooperate with the Norwegian partner - the Healthy Cities Network in Norway in all activities. They will share best practices, inspiration, and organize study trips or joint seminars. Five partners from the Czech Republic will be actively involved as reference points for work with specific target groups.
