Doorstep chats

Do you know this situation? You organise a meeting to discuss traffic calming in your neighbourhood and the people most affected by the noise don't show up. You are not the only one and there is a solution: Doorstep chats are an useful method to reach out to people that are not yet part of the discussion but are needed very much.

Gamification of climate friendly behaviour

Gamification is the application of game-design mechanics — such as points, rewards, competitions, challenges, and progress tracking — to non-game contexts in order to motivate behaviour change. In the context of urban sustainability and mobility, it turns everyday choices like taking public transport, cycling, or saving energy into visible, rewarding actions that feel meaningful and fun rather than obligatory.

Mobility Parcour

This experiential mobility tool empowers citizens to discover and evaluate shared mobility options through direct, hands-on experience. Participants can test different sharing modes, such as bicycles, cargo bikes, e-scooters, and shared cars, in a low-threshold setting without complex registration processes. By reducing barriers to trial and exploration, the activity encourages informed mobility choices and increases awareness of the opportunities that shared mobility can offer in everyday life.

Neighborhood Party

A Neighbourhood Party can create an inclusive space where residents can explore sustainable mobility options, connect with local initiatives, and discuss the future of mobility in their community. Through interactive activities, demonstrations, and informal exchanges, participants are empowered to learn about available alternatives, share their experiences, and actively contribute to shaping a more accessible, sustainable, and liveable neighbourhood.

Regular table for district politics and initiatives

In this format district politics and initiatives meet up in a casual setting. This benefits everyone: On the one hand politicans can efficently update several initiatives at the same time and get wind of citizens troubles related to urban space at an early stage. Initiatives on the other hand get insights and can discuss their visions and potential future collaborations.
