The Citizen’s Climate Collective – how to participate
How can I take part?
There are several ways to participate at the Citizens’ Climate Collective:
- to join an existing work group
- to create a new work group
- to organise meetings in your district
Every involvement is welcome and you can contribute to this collective work according to your availabilities and preferences.
But what is a work group?
It consists in a regrouping of people who want to work on a specific subject and/or district. Every group decides about their way of functioning, their objectives and the frequency of meetings.
Our values
Mutual respect: Everyone has the right to speak. We listen to one another and respect each other.

Empowerment: At our scale, we – as citizen – can be active and a force of proposition. We can change things and provoke change from our cocitizen. Together, citizen can also dialogue with the concerned politicians or industries. There is no ready-made solution, it is up to us to construct our future together.
Adaptability: We want to move forward together, experiment, be open to evolve the concept, the approach, the methods according to the participatory process.
Diversity: Diversity in people, skills, time investment, …
