Implementing proposals successfully: Insights from practitioners

Proposals, or petitions, are a powerful engagement method to involve community members in shaping policies and addressing community needs, revitalizing and strengthening local democracy.

Yet, some governments are cautious about adopting this bottom-up participation approach due to concerns around integrating them — from political considerations to practical operations issues — into their day-to-day work.

Join our webinar on October 24 at 3 pm CEST to learn from experienced practitioners who have successfully implemented proposals: Elisa Lironi, Programme Director European Democracy at ECAS, Franz Gregor Winkler, Innovation Manager at the City of Linz (Austria), and Stephanie McAuley, Community Partnership Officer at Falkirk Council (UK).

During a panel discussion moderated by our CEO and Co-Founder, Wietse Van Ransbeeck, they will talk about their journey, including:

Why they decided to take the leap
How they designed their processes and organized internally
Key learnings and best practices

Additionally, you will get a live demonstration of our innovative Proposals feature, showcasing how easy and interactive it can be for community members and government officials.
