The project will develop a guide with relevant knowledge, competences and tools needed for local cross-sector stakeholders to be able to co-create local solutions on urban biodiversity. The partners will formulate a training methodology and train themselves as facilitators of local co-creation to implement and test the developed methodology and guide through 6 local case projects.<< Implementation >>The project activities:- A state-of-the-art and local mapping analysis.- The formulation of a teaching methodology on facilitation of co-creation and a train-the-trainers workshop.- The formulation of a guide on local co-creation for urban biodiversity and mobilisation.- Implementation of the teaching methodology and guide through 6 local cases.- An in-person and virtual exchanges between the cases.- A project evaluation on the relevance and impact of the developed outputs and activities.<< Results >>The project will result in capacity building of professional and volunteer adults within the public, private and civil society sector in how to co-create shared solutions for urban biodiversity. This will result in a Guide on local co-creation for urban biodiversity.
