Tewkesbury Healthy Town. Provides an excellent step-by-xxxx xxxxx on how to work towards a change in culture, attitudes and behaviour and contains a number of steps which are easily replicable in our local context. First it provides us with a comprehensive list of opportunities to engage with the project: surveys, meetings, online tools, events, incentives, approaching citizens at the places they frequent (in our setting: clubs, library, park, pubs) and media presence. The specific aims of the project also refer to ours as we also intend to: • inform general public and key stakeholders of the aims and objectives of the project, • plan the delivery programme and explore future directions in four work streams of the project: travelling to school, travelling to work, shopping and leisure activities, • understand what are main barriers and possible incentives. The case study also reveals which citizen categories do not readily participate (the young, the uneducated and the unemployed) and suggests how these groups can be engaged more easily, through networks and individuals who are trusted (in our case: the City authority and the mayor, the church officials, school-teachers and prominent members of citizen groups and organisations). We intend to organise a similar range of engagement activities: focused project events (Active Spring), participation in traditional or existing events (Earth Day, Town Day, Cycling festival, European Mobility Week), a travelling-for-shopping survey, filming of events and an on-line survey in big companies. The feedback is planned in the following actions: • press releases outlining the findings, • project film, • schoolchildren's summary reports in school newspapers.

Tewkesbury Healthy Town. This is a very useful case study which we think we can implement into relevant programs in Tartu schools, but it needs strong political decision to do so. To explain this case study to older people is more complicated than to younger people, because younger people usually learn faster, that is why we will focus on delivering this to schoolchildren. For the older generation we have organised walking exercise “50+ on behalf of health”. As an initial step to implementation of the messages in the Healthy Town project, during the Active Access project this year we would like to organise traffic lessons in schools. In some schools this has already happened, but not in all of them. This is very necessary in order for schoolchildren to be able to walk to school alone. The present situation is that parents drive their children to school by car, even though distance between their homes and school is in some cases only 200-300 m. The reason for this is that parents are afraid of car/pedestrian accidents. Therefore, traffic lessons in schools will be the starting point for changing our city into a more healthy and sustainable for environment.

Tewkesbury Healthy Town. Based on our previous experiences and thoughts about our own planned application, we see that the main obstacle that we will have to face is the difficulty of the engagement of all groups of our community (groups by age, by salary level, by education etc.). The number of those people who are easy to engage with similar activities is limited and there are several groups of people that are quite hard to reach and involve. The Tewkesbury example gives a useful toolbox of possible methods to encourage “participation by those who do not generally readily engage in consultations”, like community events, story dialoguing and a summit with key local groups. Identifying a ‘key person’ to the cause and putting emphasis on face to face communication also seem to be very effective methods that can be used.

Tewkesbury Healthy Town. The idea of attending some community group is what we want to do. We want to develop community groups (schools/enterprises/shops) communication: the process presented is what we planned: attend a community group, write an article and speak about Active Access during mobility or energy events we organise.

Tewkesbury Healthy Town. Some of the techniques used in walking case study No. 1 in engaging the wider community in the project’s activities are very useful tools which will be used also in our case in Cyprus. Our objective is to engage primarily students (6-18) and secondary the wider community. The Tewkesbury case study highlights the following specific methods that could be used in our local context: “surveys, meetings, online tools, events, incentives, going to where people you want to meet are: clubs, pubs, parks and media presence, particularly in local papers and radio”. The survey that will take place will follow the in class measurement approach and it will focus on students’ current travel behaviour to and from school (hands-up survey). Also, the projection of various related films could be an additional tool in raising awareness campaign in schools.

Tewkesbury Healthy Town. This project uses a very broad range of approaches to try to reach several groups in the community and to give opportunities of engagement for each group. In Aveiro we will also engage several different groups like shopkeepers, visitors, politicians and so on. Based on this project and other best-practices, we will make sure to listen to and then engage each of the groups in the programmed measures. However, the aim of our project in Aveiro is more focused. While in Tewkesbury the aim was to “work towards a change in culture, attitudes and behaviour to enable Tewkesbury to become a healthier and happier town”, in Aveiro we are focused on increasing the amount of walking to and from leisure activities in the historic centre. Therefore our target groups are smaller and more specific. If in one hand makes it easier, the probability of failure is greater. It is particularly useful that in Tewkesbury the first phase was to gather intelligence about the networks and individuals who were influential and trusted within the community. This can be particularly relevant in Aveiro, especially on the community of shopkeepers because they will be the group we will need more cooperation from. We intend to look out for these so called mavens1 that will help to spread and introduce the aims of the project but also to warn us of possible pitfalls. Reading about the experience in Tewkesbury might push us to use more individual engagement among the shopkeeper besides the shop- keeper association. To engage the walkers it is also important to realise they might be a quite specific demographic group (local university students, young residents of the rural hinterland sprawl). To engage properly it might be useful to do focus groups with these users. To carefully consider the “how” and not only the “what”.

Tewkesbury Healthy Town. The general aim of this campaign (“to work towards a change in culture, attitudes and behaviour”) and the idea that it tried to encourage the participation of people who are not interested in the “healthy town” argument are particularly relevant for the campaign ATU will try to organise in Alba-Iulia and Bucharest. Though it is not very clear who were the main actors/stakeholders that participated in the implementation, the idea to use local influential undeclared leaders as potential partners and disseminators could be applied successfully in medium and small communities like Alba-Iulia. Moreover providing the community with feedback about the action (either by films, either by summary document or others) is another good idea to widen the circle of potential participants. Also having continuous communication with the community and if possible community co- designed initiatives are ideas that could be applied in both Alba-Iulia and Bucharest but they require a structure like a permanent “interaction team” (or a web-site) that informs / interacts with the community. The difficulties in ATU’s campaign also come out from the difference in implementation time – it is easier to maintain the interaction with the community for a short period of time. But this kind of approach may be applied during Active Access for a limited period of time. Of particular interest is that Healthy Town campaign engaged, through a variety of activities, a wide range of people/inhabitants belonging to different age groups and interests.
