Next edition coming soon...

This training course helps participants to develop mission-led change capacities, adopt a mission-led mindset; and to use a mission-led approach to help organise, plan, and manage radical change for organisations and communities.

Next Session Coming Soon
If you are intrigued about Thriving Communities, and interested to get involved, then these open sessions are a chance to find out more, to ask questions, and to see whether you would like to join our collective work.
We believe that there is an excellent opportunity for communities to create new Community e-Mobility Co-operative models that will help to accelerate a shift to cleaner electric mobility systems while keeping the benefits local - with rollout of vital electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as their first main move.
Read more on this proposition here, and get in touch if you would like to collaborate on this idea.

In Focus

A Mission for Climate Neutral Cities

The EU has launched a Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities that aims to mobilise local authorities, citizens, businesses, investors, and national authorities to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. Thriving Communities is all about helping communities to achieve this sort of mission. Pursuing climate neutral cities is one of the key areas that we work on. Here are links to some of our recent events and articles on this topic:

Placemaking for Civic Imagination

Placemaking for Civic Imagination is on the critical path towards Thriving Communities, because it paves the way for a paradigm shift in the role that citizens play in deciding how their community assets are developed and managed. Therefore this is one of the key areas that we work on, and we are aiming to build a placemaking movement across SE Europe. Here are some recent highlights.

Given the broad value of public placemaking processes, we encourage

all communities to work on this area as part of their overall radical change process.

Check out this area of our work for more details

We have been advancing our Placemaking for Civic Imagination programme thanks to support from the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union. Project partners: Korimako, KLIK, PUSH and Placemaking Europe (working closely with Placemaking Western Balkans).

We are seeking new investment partnerships to help expand our work and impact. Can you help?
