Workshop: Concept and practice of outreach-based participation
The aim of broad participation is to ensure the effective involvement of all those affected or affected groups. However, this cannot be achieved without special efforts. Young people, older people, people with intellectual or physical disabilities, and people from migrant backgrounds are often reluctant to accept invitations to take part in participatory processes, or find it difficult to do so. One solution may lie in various formats of outreach-based participation. These formats, their prerequisites, effects and underlying processes are the focus of the seminar.

What you’ll take away
You will become familiar with the eight main variants of outreach-based participation and be able to assess when to use which format in a targeted manner. You will learn how to prepare these formats, fill them with content, implement them methodically and, where appropriate, integrate them into larger processes. You will experience the benefits of targeted scoping phases as well as the advantages of collaborating with initiatives led by those directly affected. With the fundamentals of outreach-based participation taught in this seminar, you will take the quality and scope of your participation practice to a new level.
