The new ideas and experiences contribute to the sustainable development of the neighborhood projects and in this way strengthen the community and civil society alike said Dr. Miriam Freudenberger Managing Director of the Alliance for Participation Initiative. The Alliance for Participation is committed to strengthening civil society and citizen participation in Baden-Wrttemberg. As a partner of the state she was involved in the development of the funding program and is responsible for its implementation.Project duration of up to two yearsThe funding program is flexible and based on what is necessary on site in the respective municipalities. The neighborhood impulses are not there to explain to the municipalities what their neighborhood work should look like emphasized Minister Lucha. Each municipality should decide for itself and together with the local people what needs to be initiated in order to create neighborhoods that are suitable for both ages and generations.With the Quartiersimpulse funding program cities and municipalities can receive a grant of up to 85000 euros for their neighborhood project for a project duration of up to two years.
