Group work 1: (20 min.) What are key characteristics of the different places?
Presentation in the plenary of key findings on pin board (20 min.)

Context matters!
Different complex situations require different entry points for support. Do we understand the complex context of the city/space?

Context considerations
Context matters in regions and locations ! Context differs in spaces !
– Different realities
– Different complex interrelations between people
– Different behaviour patterns
– Different belief systems
– Different boundaries of change
– Different opportunities for change
– Different

Questions
What are the characteristics of different territories or spaces?
– What are dominant belief systems?– What are dominant patterns of behaviour? – Who are outliers in the system who do things
differently?
What are the requirements to promote change in these different spaces?
– e.g. „With whom to start and whom to involve?“– e.g. „Where to focus on?“
Entry points for change? – concrete short-term initiatives?– What could be safe to fail experiments?

Matrix of the 4 kinds of spaces
Simplified model to
– reflect on different characteristics
– Identify different dynamics and intervention requirements
– Promote the reflection on targeted initiatives for change
Different interventions are required in different environments !

challenges !
Thank you for the rich reflection!
