What is the inspiration hub?
The goal of the inspiration hub is to offer a searchable collection of succesful public consultation projects from municipalities across the world. It allows you to explore practical examples of public consultation initiatives, see what worked for others, and adapt proven approaches to your own community.
You can browse projects from a network of over 500 municipalities, filtering by consultation method, city size, and more.
Your Government Success Manager will update this page monthly with "Projects of the Month", ensuring you stay up-to-date with the latest initiatives.
How to navigate through the inspiration hub:
In the back-office of your platform, you’ll find a tab named “Inspiration hub” on the left panel. When you click on it you’ll enter our in-product library.
At the top you’ll see highlighted projects, selected by your Government Succes Manager, with an explanation on why these projects are highlighted.
Below the highlighted projects you can see a list of all projects, by default the setting is on your country, but you can browse through other countries as well. When navigating through this list, following filter options are available:
Country: Using this filter you can find projects based on the country they’re engaged in
Method*: Using this filter you can find projects that containing specific methods you want to look for.
Population: You can filter on ‘large’, ‘medium’ or ‘small’, to find projects that are suitable for a specific population size
Date: You can filter on date if you want to look for projects that happened within a certain timeframe
