Public Participation
The design and facilitation of public participation processes are at the heart of Percolab’s practice. For Percolab, the impact of a public participation project begins right from the ideation and design phase—whether we’re talking about impact on the community, on the place itself, or on the teams leading it.
Our approach stands out through:
– Creative, appreciative, and visually-based collaborative and collective intelligence methods
– Listening and learning as both drivers and goals in every project
– Agility, flexibility, and care in project management
– A systemic transformation perspective
