Aims:

- Implementation concrete projects in various sectors of the town development
- Drafting of a model alongside the implementation projects
- Inclusion as much as possible of citizens

Realization:

Phase 1: On 02 and 03 December a chaired future laboratory was organised with 25 participants, followed by a half-day project seminar on 14 January 2006 to fix the results. 6 Project teams were set up. People in charge and sufficient assistants were appointed for all project teams. The results were publicly presented at a town meeting with around 50 participants on 10 February.
Phase 2: On 07 March 2006 the town council took the role of project steering group. The project teams must submit a concrete implementation plan by June 2006 or - where possible - define already first implementation steps.
Phase 3: In Summer/Spring 2006 alongside the continuation of the works of the project team a public process for the construction of a model must be implemented, with the creation of a model "sustainable Sibratsgfäll 2025".

Impact:
