Citizen participation starts from the local community
With Hoplr in your municipality, you increase the neighbourhood's engagement. Social cohesion, offline contact and engagement are the basic requirements for meaningful and inclusive citizen participation. It's all about dialogue, working together and even getting your hands dirty.
Go from communication to participation. A modern municipality listens and knows the talk of the town. This way, policy making can be tailored to the needs of citizens.
Participation through Hoplr shifts the focus from the individual to the local community. This way, we can involve the silent majority. After all, an idea or initiative only really has meaning when the entire community can get behind it.
We launched a number of ideas from the policy memorandum via our neighbourhood platform Hoplr. 25% of all hoplr users participated. The statements were read 34,721 times, 1,831 votes were cast and 301 responses were received across the 10 statements. On top we got another 33 policy suggestions. The first part of our participation process on the 2020-2025 policy memorandum has already been successful.Read the case study of Boechout
