SoNeC (Sociocratic Neighborhood Circles) is an EU initiative working to integrate sociocracy - a participatory decision making methodology - into neighborhood-based community activities. The SONEC partnership - formed by 9 organisations from 7 EU countries - is researching participatory citizenship models in Europe and experimenting with the implementation of sociocratic methods. We will present our findings and recommendations in a manual that will be distributed widely, specifically targeting municipal stakeholders and local government. Our goal is to make neighborhood decisions more inclusive, so that local needs are identified and met through the involvement of many active participants.

We are at the very beginning of a long journey and in the first phase of building our network. If you would like to receive updates, resources and information about how to collaborate with SoNeC,  please confirm your interest, and help us get to know you by filling out this form.
