Across Europe, administrations at all levels of governance are paying increasing attention to the need to involve citizens in shaping the plans and programmes that significantly affect their lives. Beyond supporting democracy, good governance, and accountability, the input of the general public is a valuable resource for policy making.

New ways of approaching communication, collaboration and co-creation between amateurs and professionals from different disciplinary backgrounds have unlocked creative talent and brought about innovative solutions. This workshop will examine ways of creating responsive and integrative communication approaches to citizen participation, as illustrated by specific projects.
