We develop a range of dialogue and participation formats to support innovative approaches to governance in Germany, Europe, and beyond. Our work is guided by two core principles of good governance: transparency and participation.
We believe that addressing complex societal challenges requires collaboration across sectors. Through a variety of formats, we bring together stakeholders from politics and public administration, business, and civil society to create spaces for dialogue, exchange, and shared learning. Together with our partners, we explore new perspectives and develop public-interest-oriented responses to pressing societal challenges.
Drawing on formats that have been developed and tested over many years, we adapt our approaches to different contexts and continuously develop new pilot processes. Our work is often carried out in partnership with institutions, municipalities, organisations, and networks that are interested in exploring new forms of collaboration.
Would you like to collaborate with us or explore a joint initiative? We would be pleased to hear from you.
Municipal Development Councils are bodies made up of politicians (including administration), organised civil society and stakeholders from the business sector that advise on a topic relevant to the future and develop recommendations for the local decision-making bodies. They are based on the principle that a inclusive, sustainable development of communities and cities works best when all relevant stakeholder groups are involved.
Trialogues bring stakeholders from politics (including administration), business, organized civil society and - accompanying - science into exchange. They create understanding where a diversity of perspectives is needed: in current social debates and in policy, science and process consulting. Trialogues prepare viable decisions.
