What is the role of a WWViews National or Regional partner?

Expect a work load of 3-4 person months and direct costs for the meeting venue, catering, transport of citizens, and possibly translation of project materials. The major tasks for the National Partners include:

• Taking part to a two days training session in Paris and follow up training with regulars webinars
• Recruiting a group of 100 citizens (reflecting the demographic diversity in your country or region) that will meet for a full day on June 6
• Translating questions and information booklet materials (25 pages doc, 5 videos) from English or French language into your national language
• Hosting the citizen consultation (drinks, lunch), meeting room with space for 12 to 15 group tables, video projection equipment, an internet connection, and a team with a lead facilitator, table moderators, and vote counters
• Sharing project results with media, key policy- and opinion makers, and liaising with your COP21 delegation
• Respecting the spirit and following the guidelines for WWViews on Climate and Energy, as specified by the Danish Board of Technology and Missions Publiques.

Who can become a WWViews National or Regional partner?

To become a partner in the WWViews Alliance, an organisation should have the following qualities:

1. Independence of specific interests - may these be stakeholder interests, political parties, social groups etc. - in the issue of climate change. Organisations that cannot live up to this must form an alliance with other organisations in their region/country in order balance it out. Policy makers in your country should trust the result of the citizen consultation to be the product of a neutral and unbiased process.
2. Have the professional skills necessary to perform a national citizen participation process in a fair and methodologically consistent manner.
3. Based on non-profit – meaning that there are no owners who profit from any kind of overhead. We accept institutions, which may seek an overhead from external funding, if this overhead stays in the institution to support other non-profit activities.
4. A reputation as serious, professional, trust-worthy and effective organisation.
