On February 17, from 10:00 to 13:00, the JADEITE project will host an online workshop dedicated to participatory governance and the promotion of a Just and Green Transition across the Mediterranean area.

The event is part of Work Package 3 – “Participatory governance: transnational learning and tool consolidation”, and specifically relates to Activity 3.1.3, a key milestone aimed at comparing and reflecting on the diverse territorial realities represented within the partnership.

This workshop builds on the outcomes of the Co-creation Workshop held in Pisa on December 10, where partners shared initial reflections on how to analyse participatory processes. Those contributions enabled JOHUD, as WP3 coordinator, to finalise a structured and robust methodology for the situational analysis, with a specific focus on the role of participatory tools in ensuring that the green transition truly leaves no one behind.

Workshop Objectives

The online session is designed as a space for transnational exchange and collective validation. In particular, the workshop aims to:

• Validate the methodology: present the finalised approach for the situational analysis and share the first set of preliminary results from partner territories.
• Assess participatory tools: discuss the current use of offline participatory instruments across regions and collect inputs to enhance their effectiveness.
• Define the “Just Transition”: consolidate partners’ perspectives on the core elements of a green transition that is socially fair and inclusive, with particular attention to vulnerable groups.

The workshop represents an important step in aligning approaches, strengthening shared understanding and advancing participatory governance practices within the JADEITE project
