Kooperationen & Koordination

In einer Mitmach-Region tun sich Menschen zusammen, um vor Ort Ideen und Umsetzungsstrategien für die drängenden ökologischen und sozialen Fragen unserer Zeit zu entwickeln. Dabei steht die jeweilige Region im Fokus.  In Arbeitsgruppen wird an konkreten Umsetzungskonzepten zu den vier zentralen Handlungsfeldern Ernährung, Energie und Verkehr, Finanzen und Wirtschaft sowie sozialer Zusammenhalt in der Region gearbeitet. Schlüsselelement und Höhepunkt des Projektes ist die Mitmach-Konferenz, bei der ca. 30 bis 200 Menschen aus der Region zusammenkommen, sich vernetzen und an konkreten Lösungen für eine nachhaltige Zukunft arbeiten. Die Mitmach-Konferenz wird von einem Kernteam vorbereitet und durchgeführt. Sie wird Ende 2022/Anfang 2023 stattfinden. Dabei werden die von diesem Kernteam und vielfältigen Akteur:innen in der Region schon entwickelten regionalen Konzepte in den vier Handlungsfeldern vertieft und weiterentwickelt und gehen danach in die Umsetzung. Eine Mitmach-Region ist eine große Chance für die Region, viele engagierte Menschen zusammenzubringen und gemeinsam – Bürgerschaft, Unternehmerschaft, Politik, Verwaltung – nachhaltige Projekte in der Region anzugehen und umzusetzen. Sie bietet die Möglichkeit, dass sich die vielen Akteur:innen in einer Region miteinander vernetzen, neue Kontakte schließen und dass vielfältige Beteiligte neue Projekte andenken und umsetzen. Dadurch wird das Netzwerk der Aktiven in einer Region gestärkt und die Grundlagen gelegt, dass vielfältige neue Initiativen entstehen und bestehende Initiativen, Projekte und Bestrebungen an Sichtbarkeit und Wirksamkeit gewinnen.
