Integration of participation and communication
In our project "Effective participation for mobility innovation", we integrate the topics of participation and communication across the cluster. We support the six MCube innovation projects in the preparation, implementation and follow-up of participation processes and formats at different levels of intensity and with different target groups. Our aim is to increase the acceptance of implementation projects and create space for constructive dialog.
Citizen activation and innovative participation formats
WiPa focuses on continuous process support, citizen activation and the development of innovative participation formats. We strengthen futures literacy, involve citizens in the brainstorming process and impart methodological expertise to researchers and practitioners. By establishing participation in the context of future mobility, we make a significant contribution to the success of MCube projects. We support all MCube projects and act in the individual real-world laboratories.
We sensitize the cluster to participative formats and identify the participation requirements for innovation projects and cluster management. This is done through central match-making events, project-specific workshops, iterative needs assessments and an agile participation process design.
We continuously support the innovation projects in their communication with the public and moderate the resulting discourse. We activate citizens and social stakeholders through outreach participation and develop innovative participation formats. These enable stakeholders to form an informed opinion on complex mobility issues and to negotiate competently. We strengthen futures literacy and the self-efficacy experienced by citizens. We also involve citizens in the brainstorming process and impart methodological and process skills to experts.
We consolidate, evaluate and disseminate the knowledge gained. This includes the evaluation of participation projects, the analysis and processing of data, the creation of lessons learned and a participation method toolbox.
We impart knowledge to experts and civil society and prepare the third MCube funding phase.
A motivated consortium of experienced partners from science, business, the public sector and society is working together in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary manner on the pressing issues of our time.
