Jelgava – Improving Neighbourhoods

Due to cultural and historical occurrences, in some cities, the dialogue between citizens and the government has not existed for many years and is only appearing slowly in recent times.

The WeSolve platform has been utilised with the goal to increase the sense of community and belonging within the city of Jelgava, Latvia. Through three engagement rounds, the citizens could give their opinions in various polls and surveys about how they identify with the city, its history, and if they believe what could be done to create a community.

Participation in Cultural Activities: Three Case Studies​

A precondition of participation is access to culture, which, according to the Recommendation, should be 'available to everyone, particularly through the creation of appropriate socio-economic conditions, for freely obtaining information, training, knowledge, and understanding, and for enjoying cultural values and cultural property'. This could be done to create a community.
