The “Participatory Methodology Guideline” is a detailed tool created to promote the active involvement of young citizens and various stakeholders in initiatives related to community development and sustainability. The document is designed to ensure that young people and other key community members are not just passive observers but active participants in shaping decisions, particularly those that pertain to climate change and sustainable development.

By providing clear, structured methodologies and providing examples of case studies and learned lessons, this guideline helps to create a participatory environment where everyone’s voice can be heard and valued. In this sense, the “Participatory Methodology Guideline” acts as a strategic anchor for the entire project. By embedding participatory approaches at every stage, from the creation of Living Labs to the development of educational resources and initiatives, the guideline ensures that the project remains focused on its core objectives: enhancing active citizenship, promoting climate-friendly behaviors, and driving sustainable community development.

Each deliverable builds on the foundation set by the guideline, ensuring coherence, inclusivity, and a strong alignment with the project’s overarching goals.
