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.
