Which visions of the future can we draw in terms of the COMMUNITY in Faro?”
|
CITY PRIDE A city of which citizens and partners are proud. |
|
|
PARTICIPATION A municipality with strong social cohesion and level of participation by its citizens, where neighbourhoods are communities, and where different communities coexist and support each other. |
CULTURE Culture factors into the lives of all and all are involved in cultural dynamism. |
What do we need to overcome now, to fulfil our visions for the city in the future?”
|
INCLUSION Inclusion and social cohesion must be nurtured throughout the municipality, bringing together and creating bridges between different “neighbourhoods” and communities in Faro |
EXPERIENCE THEIR HERITAGE Faro's population don't know their heritage or what their city offers, culturally. Opportunities must be developed through which they are able to experience their heritage and culture. |
MOBILISING AGENT Faro's bid for European Capital of Culture 2027 must act as a mobilising agent; a catalyst for the changes necessary. |
|
OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE No effective mechanisms exist to ensure community participation in the projects, or their continuity. Opportunities for participation, proximity and dialogue between communities, organisations and public entities must be created as a matter of urgency. |
FINDING A MIDDLE GROUND Finding a middle ground between tourism and community development is a significant challenge. The current level of tourism is already endangering the emancipation of Faro's younger population, the availability of student accommodation and the community as a whole. |
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION Communications relating to cultural and dynamic events in the municipality are ineffective. Effective, efficient communication has the potential to unite audiences! |
Which mobilising questions do we have to ask in order to produce our vision of the city of Faro?”
|
What makes the people of Faro smile and take action to benefit their municipality? |
Which areas come far too easily to Faro? |
