Ambassadors hold civil dialog despite the coronavirus crisis
To enable residents to actively participate in the revision of the local zoning plan, the municipality of Goldach and the agency Die Botschafter are relying on cross-media engagement. This approach allows for an active dialogue with citizens even during the COVID-19 crisis.
The ambassadors prepared the complex content of the public consultation on the structure plan in such a way that all population groups are integrated into the political process and are able to give their personal opinion, whether digitally or analog.
A leaflet based on the storytelling approach and the digital "e-participation" solution were used. This offers the population a simple, digital opportunity to participate in the development process at an early stage and enter into dialog with the municipality.
The e-participation portal of the municipality of Goldach is a flagship project for digital participation. E-Government Switzerland supported the project with a grant.
Responsible at the municipality of Goldach: Richard Falk (municipal council clerk). Responsible at The Ambassadors: Christian Hacker (project management, concept); Corina Gaelli (graphics). E-participation: Miro Hegnauer (technology).
