Preliminary contacts with the actors, information and preliminary agreement to participate. - Initial meetings and setting-up of a working method. - Analysis of the existing participatory processes in the municipality. Identification of opportunities for synergies with existing processes. • Design of the agenda • Existing problems, priority themes for action, initial discussion of possible solutions • Formulation of the programme - Specific activities. Who will be responsible for what, how and when (timeframe). Identification of existing resources within the city/town. Identification of need for complementary resources and formulation of a fund-raising strategy. • Implementation of the activities • Monitoring and evaluation - A continuous process.
