The CULTIVATE team at Wageningen University is thrilled to announce the pre-launch of the Citizen Engagement Library! This resource is a growing collection of strategies, materials, and tools designed to foster greater participation among citizens, policymakers, and organizations in food-sharing activities.
From participatory budgeting and citizen assemblies to mobile kitchens and European-wide campaigns, there are countless ways to engage communities in shaping food systems, addressing challenges, and driving meaningful change. However, reliable, detailed information about these engagement mechanisms can be hard to find. That’s where we need your help!
We are seeking input to improve and expand the Citizen Engagement Library, and there are two ways you can contribute:
- Fill Out the Citizen Engagement Library Survey
We’ve created a survey to introduce you to the Library and gather your feedback on its current format and content. Your input will help us make the Library as useful and accessible as possible!
Take the Survey by clicking here, the deadline is the 5th of December.
If you have any questions about the survey or the Library, feel free to contact Ana-Maria at ana-maria.gatejel@wur.nl.
- Contribute Tools & Games
-
- Add an entry directly to the Library using the “Add Tool” or “Add Game” feature in the Citizen Engagement Library app, or
- Email us the description and link to the tool or game at ana-maria.gatejel@wur.nl.
You can explore the Citizen Engagement Library here: citizenengagementlibrary.softr.app
Together, we can create a robust resource that empowers communities and fosters collaboration in food-sharing initiatives worldwide. Thank you for being part of this exciting journey!
