Based on these assumptions and aims <strong>ENTER</strong>.<strong>HUB</strong> proposed for the development phase 10<br />
themes were proposed for cities to choose from and the initial 5 cities made indicated<br />
preliminary preferences<br />
The URBACT evaluators made the following remark:<br />
While it is good that a range of 10 sub-themes are identified to frame the exchange for<br />
the implementation phase, this framework must not be applied too rigidly and some<br />
flexibility needs to be maintained so that new partners joining the project can<br />
contribute ideas or themes which they may wish to focus on. Where relevant it also<br />
needs to be possible for more than one partner to focus on a particular theme.<br />
As for the final phrase, it was clearly intended in our proposal that several cities work on<br />
several themes, that themes may be regrouped to macro themes and to form for - for<br />
each theme or macro theme – clusters of cities – the cities themselves with different<br />
roles (and never a city to be alone for one given theme – the essence of URBACT being<br />
the cooperation and benchmarking and learning from others)<br />
In the Kickoff meeting, the 10 themes were presented and the cities present made<br />
comments and provisional choices as for what themes they might be interested.<br />
During the site visit in Creil, an interesting exercise was made with the members of the<br />
URBACT Local Support Group (ULSG): the themes were presented, commented and<br />
doubts declared; also some hypothesis of grouping themes. Then 4 working groups formed<br />
from the project team and the members of the ULSG end each workgroup for half an hour<br />
reflected on their theme or group of themes; then each group presented their thoughts<br />
to the plenary of the ULSG members. Then ULSG members filled in the theme matrix<br />
(see example below)<br />
Similar exercise exercises (in groups or with the whole ULSG) were done in all further<br />
site visits!<br />
Then the city, in discussion with the ULSG condensed their choice for the city’s position<br />
on each Theme, where each city signals for each of the proposed 10 themes<br />
<br />
the theme where they would like to be lieder of a cluster for this theme (working<br />
group) among those cities selecting that theme<br />
