DivAirCity H2020

Understanding & establishing co-creation

The community building out-reach to the citizens officially starts in M7 and is empowered by the experience of Reseau Transition “Transition Network”.


Community Building activities will be common to all the diamond phases: at this phase we have started working with the stakeholders, by creating the Local Steering Committees, activation of ecosystems.

The objective is to create a group which is conscious of belonging to this group.


  • Long term involvements with the aim of creating different solutions.
  • Install a sense of community in the participants.
  • (perhaps also) Negotiate the mandate with the city.

We acknowledge these frameworks as a basis for this phase of the co-creation.

  2. Including provision of a hot meal, coffee, cake, treats.

Latent needs

  • The core of the project. That the process is meaningful, fair and open…

Incentives for any actor to participate
Cities ask:

  • How do we engage NGOs in order to reach the right citizens?
  • How does our project stand out to them and to the citizens?
