FAQS

How is social design different from social animation and participation?

Social design is about creating new solutions together for local communities — together we analyze needs and figure out what can be changed or done differently. Social animation is primarily about activating people — organizing meetings, events and activities that encourage residents to cooperate and strengthen interpersonal bonds. Participation is the participation of residents in decisions — giving a voice in matters concerning the area, through consultations, discussions and jointly determining the direction of change. In practice, all these methods complement each other, but have different objectives: design creates solutions, animation strengthens the community, participation gives influence to decisions.

Are you tied to a political option?

We are independent of local authorities and are not tied to any political option. We show the concrete results of our work and invite you to participate in each stage so that everyone can see for themselves how it works. We work with the authorities only to do something good for the residents. For us, the ideas and voices of the inhabitants take precedence over the interests of the authorities or politicians.
