Gathering a range of ideas and contributions
Description
This approach can be used to help a community to share ideas, vote and be informed about the decisions made about a project. It can be used to ask the community about, for example, which kind of events they would like to happen or gather ideas about what to do with a specific venue, such as schools or community centre.
The film below shows how a range of ideas can be contributed and voted on by residents in practice
The video below demonstrates how to set up Engagement HQ to capture, moderate and publish contributions from community members
