Aim:
To make the local society a force in restructuring a more humane, democratic and sustainable society.
Main stakeholders:
Local citizens
Issues addressed:
Public services are too focused on the national scale. More local initiatives are needed.
Outcome:
Sager der Samler is organised around the work with the ‘case’. Behind each case is one or more everyday activists who are supported by the community. Many get involved out of a sense of being marginalised to one degree or another. Some develop their cases as volunteers, some become entrepreneurs and others turn their cases into platforms for political engagement. The scale of the initiatives varies greatly. Some are small projects involving a few people. Others have a big impact and in some cases help set a national agenda. All are a source of learning.
