Local communication toolbox

SUNRISE will help residents, users, stakeholders, decision makers and private sector representatives in the six action neighbourhoods to analyse and articulate their own situation as an opportunity for reflection, learning and sharing. For this purpose, SUNRISE will provide tools to visualise the local challenges and options. This local communication toolbox (D5.3) will contain open source tools, SUNRISE’s own guidelines and methodologies for event organisation and moderation, use of social media and use of the SUNRISE website’s Neighbourhood Dashboard. The tools included in the toolbox will also constitute part of the Neighbourhood Mobility Pathfinder. The neighbourhoods will be invited to use techniques such as video reports, Flickr, project newspapers, podcasts, map-/ GIS-based visualisation of problems and opportunities, school visits, walking audits etc. Guidance for the involvement of conventional local media (print, online, TV, radio) will also be provided. ‘Neighbours’ will be encouraged to interact through social media. The local communication toolbox will be updated continuously.
