Objectives of Theme II


The partner areas of Vienna and Amsterdam focus on the theme "Communication with / consultation of local communities and direct involvement of inhabitants living in deprived urban neighbourhoods." This theme deals with approaches stimulating community consultation and communication in deprived neighbourhoods, especially with marginalised or vulnerable population groups hard to reach. Such initiatives also aim at encouraging self-responsible action of inhabitants living in these areas, especially by setting up structures for democratic citizensÂ’ participation or local development partnerships.

The operational objective is to review mechanisms or methods for community consultation/citizens participation in deprived neighbourhoods and to practically improve direct involvement of the population living in these areas.

  • Mutual co-operation shall help to improve mutual knowledge among POSEIDON partners on general methods/approaches and existing practical initiatives in the field of community consultation and citizens participation. Based on the exchange of experience, POSEIDON partners will identify new or innovative solutions that contribute improving consultation and communication with local communities in deprived neighbourhoods or direct citizensÂ’ participation in local development initiatives.
  • Mutual co-operation shall also allow to practically applying new or innovative measures in the field of community consultation and citizens participation, but especially those that stimulate a more active participation/involvement of new person groups (currently not yet reached) and particularly vulnerable population groups in deprived neighbourhoods.

In a medium-term perspective, this will help to further develop the quality and sustainability of neighbourhood management policies and to increase the acceptance of specific measures among all inhabitants of deprived neighbourhoods.
