European MOSAIC - How To Engage Citizens
This manual will guide you through the entire process of creating engaging citizen consultations, from defining your objectives and selecting relevant topics to reaching the appropriate audiences and designing interactive experiences that promote participation. It explores practical facilitation tools, ways to include all participants, and techniques for managing group dynamics. It also helps you to capture citizens’ ideas effectively and turn them into meaningful outcomes. Above all, it acknowledges that engagement does not end when the event closes, but continues through communicating results and fostering ongoing participation.
This is the joint publication of the European Youth Forum and the European Movement International within the framework of the European MOSAIC project.
