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.
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.
