Description

The town of Otrokovice as well as other partner municipalities creates concept documents and commission studies to find the best solutions that contribute to the improvement of life in cities. However, it is not possible to involve the public in order to participate more in the search for solutions and the implementation of activities that have an impact on city life.
The aim of the project is to introduce public involvement processes in the preparation and implementation of development plans and the creation of strategic documents at the local level in the participating partner cities, including the implementation of public involvement activities. The key activities of the project focus on:
1) Gaining experience from a foreign partner who has experience in involving the public (through a study trip of Czech partners to the Norwegian city of Fredrikstad, through consultations with foreign experts-representatives of the Norwegian partner, and the involvement of partner partners in educational activities).
2) Implementation of educational activities and sharing of experience focused on elected representatives and employees of the applicant and Czech partners.
3) Implementation of communication processes with the public and public involvement, which will be implemented by the applicant and all Czech partners.
4) The obligatory activity is publicity, within which we will create press releases for the public, create a collection of good practices for the professional public and organize a conference.
5) Project management by experienced members of the implementation team.
