Citizen Participation
For now, just a few notes and links to places concerned with Citizen Participation.
I am very proud of the West Medford Community Coalition and Medford’s Neighborhood Resources.
From the Seattle Neighborhood Matching Fund Program as quoted in a report found at Toolkit Citizen Participation
“…people lost the sense that citizenship is public work producing things of lasting importance.”
Toolkit Partnership: a growing group of civil society (NGO) and local government organisations from all over the world, working together to promote participatory local governance.
