Toolbox
Campaign plan
Campaign plans structure when content is published and actions take place, and in the best case scenario, they are coordinated with political windows of opportunity (e.g., elections).
Centralized participation plattform
On this platform, you will find the City of Vienna's participation projects. Here, you can exchange thoughts, gather ideas, and provide feedback on specific issues in dialogue with the city.
Developing a convincing narrative for your campaign
The framework of "Story-Based Strategy" helps you figure out your campaign’s narrative strategy. It’s composed of tools or worksheets that you can use to analyze the opposition’s story, the current popular narrative about your issue, and develop a way of pitching or talking about your issue that will win over the folks you need to win!
Initiative meets district politics
Citizens' initiatives can meet with district or city politicians to present and discuss their concerns. In district politics, no petition or formal basis is necessary for this; district politicians are usually open to discussion. It is important that the initiative is not politically appropriated by opposition parties and that the possibility of joint implementation with the district is communicated.
Place Standard
The Place Standard tool provides a simple framework to structure conversations about place. It allows you to think about the physical elements of a place (e.g. its buildings, spaces, and transport links) as well as the social aspects (e.g. whether people feel they have a say in decision making). The tool provides prompts for discussions, allowing you to consider all the elements of place in a methodical way. The tool pinpoints the assets of a place as well as areas where a place could improve.
Reflection of internal power relations
Methods such as reflection rounds on internal power dynamics reveal suppressed feelings within the group and allow roles to be redefined. This helps to break entrenched patterns.
