The Mutual Learning Workshop under the CLAiR-City project aims to initiate new ways of involving citizens, stakeholders and decision makers. The goal of the project is to generate completely new insights into the integration of citizens and stakeholders in the development of air quality policy.

The workshop will use an innovative set of analysis and engagement tools to facilitate dialogue with many stakeholders in six European pilot cities. The project will enable citizens and other interested parties to discuss the role of air quality and policies to reduce CO2 emissions for citizens' health, well-being and future quality of life. The toolkit itself will be directed to all EU cities with over 50,000 inhabitants.
