Participatory Strategies and Community Engagement

We help you negotiate a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for green electricity directly from the producer. Stable prices, ESG compliance, and guaranteed supply.

Growing Public Pressure and Risk of Opposition

Development and energy projects often face public resistance due to insufficient communication and lack of community engagement. This can significantly delay approval processes or prolong implementation. Uninformed citizens increase the risk of negative public perception. Up to 60% of conflicts in territorial projects arise from poor participation and communication with the community.

Our Solution: Comprehensive Participatory Strategy

  • Based on an initial consultation, we assess project parameters and compensation options, and design a tailored participation strategy.
  • We organize facilitated meetings and workshops with the public and other stakeholders, map sentiments, and identify concerns.
  • We prepare presentations of specific benefits and proposals for the community, respond to feedback and resident profiles, and support the implementation of surveys or local referendums.
  • We combine legal and PR expertise to ensure the strategy aligns with legal regulations and the overall communication of the project.

What you gain and what you avoid

  • Transparent communication and a clear signal to the public that the investor or municipality takes concerns seriously.
  • Avoid opposition that could delay the project or cause legal complications.
  • Enhanced credibility and positive public perception of the project.
  • Clear and specific compensation models for the community, strengthening project support.

Examples of our work

We guide the city of Příbram through the preparation and application of the principles for cooperation with investors

We provide the city of Příbram, which has prepared new rules for cooperation with developers, with inputs for targeted communication with stakeholders and the public and provide supporting content on the topic.

Tools from Frank Bold help to start change in Rokytnice nad Jizerou

The town of Krkonoše faced the usual challenges of touristic areas. We helped the city communicate the new construction rules through an investor brochure and recommended further procedures.

We cooperate with the city of Znojmo on issues of spatial development

Znojmo sets its territorial development systematically. We provide the topics of accompanying outputs to the measures introduced, communicate continuously and provide information for citizens and the public.

We cooperated with the City Hall, which was among the first to introduce policies for investors

Jihlava was the first statutory city in the Czech Republic that decided to introduce the Principles of Cooperation with Investors. It was all the more important to set up communication on this topic, to underpin the message for target groups and to create content to support a progressive approach.

We helped to argue for a building closure in Adršpach

Building closure is one of the tools to regulate the spatial development and to set a longer-term concept in municipalities burdened with a large interest in construction. In the popular tourist town of Adršpach, we have prepared an argumentation plan for the construction closure proposal and prepared basic questions and answers.

We have designed a strategic communication to implement the development project

For the SEBRE Group's development project to revive a brownfield in the centre of Prague, we provided communication support within the framework of public affairs, we developed media messages and content for the web presentation.
