Study trip on citizen participation to the Stuttgart region – Stuttgart, 13-14 July 2006
13-07-2006

Introduction
Governance International organises a study trip on citizen participation to the Stuttgart region. The South-Western state of Baden-Württemberg is at the top of the league in Germany in terms of citizen engagement. This visit will take the participants to several very impressive organisations - an award-winning local authority, a private sector company which has won acclaim for its involvement of staff in social responsibility programmes and several other governance champions in the region. The programme concludes with a session on how to develop a joined-up approach to citizen engagement.
Description
The issues to be explored on this study trip are: 
  • how to develop a community of active citizens; 
  • how to make local councillors part of participatory processes; 
  • how to get local companies and the press engaged in supporting citizen engagement; 
  • how to sustain citizen engagement; 
  • how to develop and implement a strategy of citizen engagement, not just a set of separate initiatives.
Governance International is a UK based non-profit organisation committed to activating public agencies and their key stakeholders to achieve good governance.
The study trip on citizen participation is the first of three so called Good Practice Visits in 2006 organised by Governance International. Each of these study visits will take place over two days and include a number of site visits to cutting-edge organizations and partnerships. The directors and staff of Governance International will give brief presentations and background material which help to get maximum benefit from the visits. The working language of the visits is English.
