Encouraging Citizen Mobilization for Territorial Resilience - The Changeo Interactive Terminals
According to a 2019 study by the Recherches & Solidarités network of experts, 54% of associations are asking for better support in diversifying and finding funding in the face of declining public subsidies and donations from individuals.
CHANGEO is a system for collecting donations and mobilizing citizens through interactive terminals made of reused materials. Its goal is to allow the greatest number of individuals to become directly involved in causes that have an impact on the resilience of their environment.
The system acts as a catalyzer by fostering the capacity for action of all the actors in the territory. It capitalizes on successful experiences and highlights them in order to inspire new local projects, helps municipalities support them, involves the economic ecosystem, and engages citizens to co-finance and participate.
The projects are sourced, structured and managed from beginning to end with the help of referent associations, most of which come from the French Ecological Transition Agency "Boost éco-citoyen" initiative.
