The focus of workshop will be on guiding partner cities through stakeholders' involvement processes and assisting the cities in identifying what tools and methods are often used and where improvements can be made in their day-to-day work with stakeholders within the HUPMOBILE project and beyond.

When developing sustainable mobility solutions and supporting sustainable urban lifestyles, it is essential to truly understand the perspectives of various kinds of urban dwellers. There is also an obvious need to integrate the perspectives of people to planning solutions to promote sustainable mobility patterns and to develop more influential participation.

In addition to well established multitude of stakeholders' engagement tools and methods a whole new field of digital and often online tools show up.

New, digital methods help to achieve these objectives and therefore we are currently working in Hupmobile project to create a Tool-KIT of methods for public participation that combines the benefits that digital and traditional methods can provide. After the Workshop you will have a better understanding of the full spectrum of the stakeholder engagement tools you can use to broaden and supplement your organisations stakeholders' involvement process.
