At a glance
The project was conceived to create a network of towns eager to work together on exchanging common problems, joint brainstorming, and introducing concrete measures. What were the issues addressed? First of all, the project dealt with the problem of lacking communication and dialogue between governments and citizens, fuelling mistrust and the passiveness of civil society. Second, the project fostered discussion among local governments on existing financial instruments, EU policies and possible EU support to local problems, as well as alternative fundraising. Third, the project acknowledged the failure of unilateral approaches to problem-solving. Therefore, it suggested collaborative approaches that bring together local stakeholders from various fields of expertise to work together and put in synergy their knowledge and competences for the public good.
Objectives
The main aim of the project was to create local networks capable of working together on the improvement of local governance through dialogue and participation, contributing to a more inclusive and democratic society.
