Core Questions of this Working Group

Core questions as identified during the first group meeting on December 3rd 2008:

1. Who was involved in the participation process? (Agnieska)
2. How was the participation process implemented (methods applied)? (Camilo)
3. In how far does/did the project respond to people's needs? (Liliana, Martina)

Notes:

• The names behind the questions identify those people that take up a kind of editor's responsibility for the questions. All group members are asked to integrate all questions into their case study report. The respective question editors will then compile the different answers and report back to the group plenary on December 19th.

• People who did not attend the session on 3rd of December may have additional proposals for core questions. Feel free to add these questions as proposals to the list above and discuss it via e-mail or using the discussion page.

• Please integrate the questions soon and try to deliver some draft answers before December 15th - otherwise it will become difficult to create a synthesis report for December 17th.
