Områdeløft Tøyen invited us to facilitate for a pilot project for participatory budgeting. We developed and designed Tøyens Folkebudsjett which consisted of three phases:
1. Inviting citizens to participate through powerful design in print and social media but also through happenings and being personally present on street level
2. Concept & facilitation of low-key design thinking workshops in order to help people to develop their ideas, find collaborators and learn how to present their ideas verbally
3. Event management of the final participatory budgeting event
