One final event in Brussels

The final project dissemination event will be held in Brussels and will focus specifically on spreading information about the project, its outcomes and developed tools among locally present stakeholders including local authorities, national representatives, international workers, European Union officials and policymakers, lobbyists and others in order to promote use of the developed tools, for example the ENLARGE CYOA online book and online interactive platform. The event will consist of a presentation of the project, its methodology, phases, and achievements, but also of expert panels discussing the participatory processes in the area of local policymaking, the relevance of the participatory processes, their contribution for open and inclusive governance, possibilities to achieve effective collaboration with non-governmental actors and to extend public administrators’ capacities in the area of participatory governance and others, namely in the area of environment. Subsequently, the developed tools will be presented – especially the online platform with all its participatory elements, which will be introduced in an interactive way. Furthermore, a second advantage of such an event is that it will serve as a platform for networking between engaged stakeholders, which may possibly lead to further initiatives and actions and an easier spread and application of project outcomes.
