Citizen Dialogue: public participation and population surveys for municipalities
Public engagement where not only the loudest voices are heard: in the citizen dialogue, residents contribute their own arguments online and anonymously and weigh up those of others. More than a population survey and simpler than a workshop process. The municipality of Schwyz reached 11.2% of its population this way.
for public administration and politics
A town meeting with everyone.
Except nobody has to raise their hand to be heard.
Democracy begins before the vote. Those affected should have a say before decisions are made.
Whether public consultation, citizen engagement or population survey: residents raise their concerns anonymously, and you see where your project already has support and where it still needs clarification. Participation that makes a difference.
