Democratic participation
Democratic participation means that involvement and co-determination are structurally anchored — not just an add-on. Participants help shape rules and decisions.
What does this mean?
Those who can co-decide take on responsibility. Transparent decision-making builds trust and strengthens the community.
What is already possible today?
Open processes and clear participation paths are well proven today. They can be transferred to local networks and community projects.
What is still open?
How participation can look in technical projects is being developed. The balance between efficiency and co-determination must be found in each case.
