Bordeaux’ meeting will be attended by the Council of Alliances, the thematic networks referents, some field actors and the secretariat of TOGETHER International and TOGETHER France. Its goals are to create a synthesis with the citizen proposals gathered in the framework of the project and to plan the future steps of the project, also planning the political dialogue in view of the meeting in Braine l'Alleud

General presentation

State of play :

CO-ACTE project aims to launch a citizen dynamic in order to build policy proposals encouraging co-responsibility processes for the well-being of all. To reach such objective it relies on the SPIRAL achievements, on other processes sharing the same values and objectives (Agenda 21, Transition Movement, eco-villages, LEADER approach, etc.) and on citizens of the concerned territories or other territories. The project began with the gathering of citizens’ policy proposals, according with the two approaches agreed during the kick-off meeting, on September 2015 28th and 29th: a well-being approach corresponding to phase 2 of SPIRAL with three questions and a fourth one specific to CO-ACT, and a balance approach corresponding to phase 8 of SPIRAL with 3 questions (a third approach is also possible: co-evaluation approach, corresponding to phase 7 of SPIRAL). Numerous proposals of citizens, in the form of post-its, were collected and entered in wikispiral website. A synthesis stage then began in December 2015, provided by the International TOGETHER Secretariat. It leads to build progressively a classification and coding system. The objective of this system, developed on excel file, is to be able to join all the post-its that relate to the same question in order to generate coherent and inclusive synthetic proposals from all data, classified in a logical order, from general to more particular. A first version of this work was sent to the Council of Alliances on January 7th. The synthesis is not yet complete, but it should reach a sufficiently advanced level in order to assess in Bordeaux the value and relevance of this method, depending too on the number of post-its collected until that date. Furthermore, a group of students from the University of Bordeaux led by Laurent Couderchet and the Secretariat of TOGETHER-France has developed a grid of values ​​from a general reading of the post-its. An analytical grid proposal was also sent by Pierre Calame.

Its goals are :

• To examine the synthesis already produced and the different proposals, analyzing their relevance, complementarities and introducing improvements, in order to agree on a methodology for the synthesis, taking into account that the collection of post-its will continue after the meeting in Bordeaux and perhaps even throughout the whole CO- ACT project.
• To analyse the content of the proposals emerging from the synthesis and the conditions for a political dialogue : how to formalize the proposals for dialogue, which ways, forms and methods of dialogue to be developed, before Braine-l'Alleud meeting and in the meeting .
• To plan the future steps of the project , including :
• Organisation of the continuity of the process: collecting of new proposals and feed-back of the synthesis to citizens to review/complete their proposals, according to Delphi methodology
• Planning of the political dialogue until the Meeting in Braine l’Alleud ;
• Organisation of the 5 thematic meetings, defining the modalities of their realization.
