New guide: Leveraging AI to level up your engagement projects (November newsletter)

Hi there!

As AI becomes an increasingly integral part of our daily lives, it's important to understand its role as a helpful tool rather than a replacement for our work. In our continuous journey to help you innovate and grow, we're thrilled to introduce our newest resource: “Leveraging AI and your tool stack to the fullest". In this guide, you can read more about the benefits of AI and use cases for community engagement.

This month we're also bringing you engagement insights and tips from the City of Antwerp, in the latest episode of our podcast “Public Square: Conversations in Democracy”. We sit down with Roel Camps, a passionate Youth Engagement expert at the City of Antwerp (Belgium). We talk about how they combined online and offline methods to engage all the residents of Antwerp, from children to the elderly. This episode provides strategies for streamlining engagement and elevating residents' voices, ensuring that everyone can participate and be heard in public decision-making.
