IPR Praha: Activity 10 - Presentation of the Final Design

Homepage > Activity 10 - Presentation of the Final Design

Building upon the previous phases of the participatory process and public engagement, it is crucial to keep local residents informed about the final design concept, study or solution. Even if the final version contradicts the preferences of some users, transparent communication is always more appreciated by the public than keeping silent.

10.1 Description and objective of the activity

During this phase, two-way communication tools are used less frequently, and instead, visual presentation forms of the final design concept, such as an exhibition in a public space, a participation container or stand, or a newspaper insert are utilized. In certain cases, if time allows, a meeting may be organized with specific stakeholders, especially those actively and extensively involved in the entire project preparation process. It is crucial to include the presentation of the final concept in your communication plan (and budget) to achieve maximum public coverage.
