Case Nördlich Lägern

Citizen Participation for a Nuclear Waste Repository:
Collective Intelligence instead of "the loudest"

Is public involvement and participation, e.g. for controversial transport or wind farm projects, dominated by individual voices that are too loud & cause too much effort? With BrainE4, municipalities successfully implement public participation in 5-8 weeks: Over 15x higher participation, 28x more ideas, 90% less work and 50% less cost.

Challenge

How can the general public be actively involved in difficult issues at municipal level and prevent individual, loud voices from dominating?

Many political decision-makers and authorities are familiar with the problem: when it comes to controversial projects, well-organized groups dominate the discussion. Large sections of the affected population feel ignored, not listened to or withdraw. Despite expensive and mostly ineffective measures, the authorities do not get a real picture of the mood. Traditional surveys or participation formats often have a low response rate, are costly, cumbersome and not very meaningful.

Case Nördlich Lägern

The Regional Conference Nördlich Lägern was faced with the challenge of obtaining unfiltered ideas and opinions from the affected population. All participants had to answer five questions, including: "What projects will make the region a more attractive place for residents and visitors?" Based on the suggestions submitted, the local politicians, together with the population, are developing a "Target image 2050" for the region.

Battle of ideas

Battle of Ideas: The Gamification approach of BrainE4 led to more than 100 interactions per participant, who not only submitted new ideas, but also simultaneously evaluated the ideas & opinions of others. of the others.
