The IMAGINE label is ready!
By
Claire Iochum on 26 February 2010
The last IMAGINE seminar has clearly shown the ambitions for 2010: create even more opportunities for discussions and vision-sharing.
IMAGINE is intended to spread and all stakeholders wishing to get involved and contribute through events are welcome.
These events can take many forms. A seminar organised by a local authority involving local stakeholders; a citizen forum; an enterprise or an NGO seminar; a session during a conference, etc.
In order to do so, the IMAGINE concept has been used for the creation of a quality label. To be labelled IMAGINE, an event must meet several
criteria:
THEMES
1 - Address energy issues (including their relation with climate issues)
2 - Integrate the territorial dimension of energy
3 - Link the concept of low-energy cities with a high quality of life for all
OBJECTIVES
4 - Aim at the development of future visions on the horizon of (at least) the next generation
5 - Clearly establish relationships with concrete action starting today
GOVERNANCE
6 - Aim at going beyond sectorial logics
7 - Aim at lining up different decision-making levels
8 - Involve local stakeholders and citizens
METHOD
9 - Use participative and creative methods
10 - Report your initiative to the IMAGINE think-tank
PROMOTION
11 - Integrate the IMAGINE logo in promotion and presentation documents
12 - Briefly present the IMAGINE think-tank
Committing to take this 12 points into consideration will give the right to the organisers to label their event IMAGINE.
So, go ahead, and make good use of it !
