One Page Summary


Fighting depopulation is a difficult challenge that requires a holistic approach. One key factor is the involvement of the local population in the design and implementation of solutions. The city council of Pampilhosa da Serra is doing a great effort in this sense. Nonetheless, engaging with the right stakeholders and with the general public to develop new creative solutions is a challenge that requires substantial governmental resources and know-how.

Kuorum's multidisciplinary team of professionals has five years of experience helping governments to implement collaborative problem solving and community engagement strategies. We will support the city council of Pampilhosa da Serra through training for local participation groups, awareness-raising campaigns and deliberation technology.
