Situation and Resource Analysis to Strengthen Local Democracy GAP

Date 2026-07-21

We conducted a situation and resource analysis to strengthen local democracy in Garmisch-Patenkirchen.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge lay in following the correct methodology and coordinating the work within the team.

OUTCOMES

Through our qualitative component, we gained important insights from the interviews regarding measures to promote democracy among children and adolescents. One such measure, for example, would be to place greater emphasis on democratic education in schools. These insights are important for developing the action plan for the overall project.
