WHAT ARE OUR ACTIVITIES?
During the course of each partner meeting each host country will create an activity in which representatives from neighbourhood organisations gather with decision makers. Such gatherings include f. ex. a Social Forum, a Citizen’s Festival or a “Democratic Dialogue Workshop”, a particular method for participation.
The activities will also include adult education organisations, politicians, researchers and the facilitators for community development. All involved persons will be learners and at the same time experts contributing with their own experiences.
Concrete results
A website will be created for the involved partners, communities and organizations.
It will contain descriptions of partners and methods, including their different context and background.
In addition, each partner will disseminate information and results from ‘People and Politics’ in his/her home country and networks. see www.pepol.eu
