Exchange Sem­i­nar “Suc­cess­ful­ly Shap­ing Local Politics”

Ger­man and Pol­ish local politi­cians are to exchange their expe­ri­ences and devel­op guide­lines for suc­cess­ful local pol­i­tics in a work­shop. The three cen­tral ques­tions are: How can con­ti­nu­ity be cre­at­ed in local pol­i­tics? How can greater prox­im­i­ty to cit­i­zens be cre­at­ed? How can the com­pe­tence and pro­fes­sion­al­ism of local politi­cians be strength­ened? In addi­tion to an inten­sive work­shop phase in which prob­lems and pos­si­ble solu­tions are analysed and dis­cussed, an excur­sion into prac­tice – by vis­it­ing the munic­i­pal office of the War­saw dis­trict of Pra­ga South and talk­ing to local staff on site – is also planned. Fol­low­ing this work­shop, a small pub­li­ca­tion will be pro­duced to serve as a guide for local polit­i­cal elect­ed officials.

Tasks: Sem­i­nar con­cep­tion and imple­men­ta­tion of the sem­i­nar in Poland.

Coop­er­a­tion with Pol­ish part­ners takes the form of an exchange of ideas and opin­ions through events, exchange pro­grammes and publications.
