Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The aim of the supporting action titled "Raising citizens awareness and appreciation of EU research on sustainable transport in the urban environment", MOVE TOGETHER project, is to build an awareness raising exercise to let people become fully: 1conscious of the sustainability implications of transport in the urban context, 2 aware of what EU transport research is doing and how research results can help making urban transport more sustainable. The awareness raising and appreciation exercise will follow a participatory process, which includes activities at transnational as well as local level, involving stakeholders, researchers and politicians together with the general public. MOVE TOGETHER presents 3 main components: 1 Critical review and appreciation of EU research on sustainable urban transport with the help of a transnational panel of citizens. The establishment of a participatory process will make citizens and stakeholders produce together a Digest on EU research presenting the scientific facts in a language and format accessible to non-experts lay citizens. 2 The overall process will be tested with a local event in the city of Rome. A randomly selected panel of local citizens will be involved in a citizens and stakeholders conference process. They will assess the Digest produced at European level and relate it to the experiences, the EU research undertaken and the research needs of Rome This will complement the Digest with concrete commitments for the possible implementation of EU research achievements and best practices, elaborated by citizens and local stakeholders.3 Europe wide dissemination and replication of this systematic awareness raising concept and of the outcomes/lessons learned from the local event in Rome, by means of pilot exhibitions at major European conferences on sustainable transport issues, town hall exhibitions in cities selected through a tendering process, all complemented by other standard dissemination activities'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Citizen involvement in sustainable transport issues lies at the heart of a European project which has raised awareness of research and policies for improving mobility in urban areas. The initiative has enabled transport to become more sustainable through public participation, allowing the views of the man (or woman) in the street to be heard by decision makers.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The EU-backed project 'Raising citizen awareness and appreciation of EU research on sustainable transport in the urban environment' (Move Together) has predicted the impact of EU research programmes on daily life by consulting a panel of European citizens. It has also shown how individual choices can positively influence urban mobility and quality of life. In addition the initiative has encouraged greater public support and participation in planning measures and the implementation of EU research and sustainable transport policies in Europe's cities.
Project partners have worked with two groups of citizens. The first comprised an international focus group of 27 individuals randomly chosen from each EU country, who participated in two workshops and the Move Together conference launch. The second group involved 24 citizens randomly selected from each area of the Rome metropolitan area who took part in two workshops and a local Move Together conference.
Involvement with the two groups has resulted in two 'Move Together citizens declarations' at the EU and the local level. The declarations include a series of messages highlighting citizens' understanding of EU research on urban transport and its impact on their day-to-day lives. These experiences have been communicated to the wider public through a travelling exhibition that has visited Vienna, Rome, Budapest, Nice and Brussels.
A final conference has been organised and a poster exhibition that has appeared across Europe. The conference has included EU policy-makers and stakeholders, representatives of the cities hosting Move Together exhibitions and members of the citizens' panels.
The project has successfully facilitated public participation in the planning and implementation of urban sustainable transport research. The result has been a positive impact on the quality of life of EU citizens.
