Mission Involvement Workbook

The Trami project, supported by the European Union and the European Mission Network (EMiN) members, aims to bridge the gap between EU Missions and everyday citizens by transferring the mission concepts and goals into their daily lives. Currently, EU Missions are often distant and abstract for policymakers and research institutions, but involving citizens with their practical knowledge and local connections is essential for effectively integrating these missions into society. The mission involvement workbook has been created to outline the necessary framework for engagement procedures and to serve as a guide for workshops involving experts with real-life experience to aid in the implementation of the EU missions. Therefore, in addition to some conceptual introductions to citizen engagement, one also receives a blueprint for a concrete co-creation workshop along with the associated canvases and slides. The workbook and workshop blue print were piloted as part of the Trami project in Austria, Romania, and Belgium. The workshop was designed in such a way that individuals or institutions with little experience in engagement should be able to implement it and that the workshop is easy to adapt to other contexts.
