The engagement of stakeholders in circular governance is essential to secure an effective implementation of circular initiatives as stakeholders can help identify the most relevant circular economy challenges and opportunities in different sectors , especially in the first design phase of the implementation.
Organised within the framework of the project: Circular Cities and Regions Initiative Knowledge Hub (CCRI Knowledge Hub), a Horizon Europe funded by the European Commission, this workshop is designed to equip participants with both conceptual and practical tools on designing and crafting an effective stakeholder engagement strategy to make circular initiatives more effective and inclusive.
The workshop is tailored to the needs of the Poltava Region in Ukraine, ALDA’s member and one of the mentees selected for the Mentoring Programme of the project. The event will include:
- Conceptual understanding of public engagement in circularity
- Practical strategies for citizen and stakeholder involvement
- Insights into digital tools and participatory approaches
- Real-world examples from across Europe
The workshop can be relevant for regions in early circular transitions phases and novices
Participants will explore how circularity can be embedded in governance, how to foster community-driven solutions and how to use innovation and e-democracy tools to strengthen local action. The workshop will delve into the European Commission’s Circular Cities and Regions Initiative methodology as well as best practices from projects that have successfully engaged public authorities and civil society in circular solutions.
The event will close with an interactive session, allowing participants to apply their newly acquired knowledge and explore the dynamics of circular transitions from multiple perspectives.
