The project “Participatory digital development for green Cities,” is about:
- to train adults out of the primary focus group of socio-cultural workers, social workers, cultural workers, integration workers, community managers, special teachers, district managers, youth workers, and all other professionals that work
with the local communities has to activate organizations as the secondary focus group of multipliers (persons and

- to enable (train the trainer) the focus group to use the new participatory methods in their work with people on district
level, especially in lower developed and super-diverse districts (with e.g. lower income, lower education grades, etc) - To train the professionals in the participatory methods for the activation, non-formal training and playful learning of
citizens on district level.
Within the new methods, we integrate the use of existing digital tools (no development of new technological systems) and aspects of digital culture to make learning easier for any people.
