A hands-on course for civil servants to engage with citizens on mobility topics
About this process

Citizens on the Move is a newly developed training programme to boost the capacities of city governments to engage with their citizens and other stakeholders on the sustainable mobility transition.
The training programme will introduce civil servants to relevant methodologies and techniques to:
- Effectively communicate with citizens about urban mobility concepts in order to facilitate public acceptance and behaviour change;
- Design and implement engagement activities such as co-creation workshops to develop urban mobility ideas and solutions together with citizens;
- Evaluate the deployment of novel urban mobility solutions (e.g., city pilots) from a user and citizen perspective.

All modules will be taught in English
