Description:
Implementation of the Local Operation Groups on the city level is an unique experience and right now the only Polish region where this idea has been realized is Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. In Torun the process had been initialized by the local Department of Public Benefit. Unfortunately at the crucial moment of creating a Local Operation Group a conflict between the City Council and the process initiators occurred. How did the process end? Were all the problems solved? You will find out during the breakfast session.
The session is dedicated for the practitioners who want to find out how to plan a participation process and what external factors could create barriers to actions in favor of citizens.
