Recruitment of participants plays a crucial role in the success of any innovation participatory pathway, as it sets the stage for diverse perspectives, fosters collaboration, and ensures that decisions are inclusive and representative. During the recent MOSAIC Clinic session, the representatives from Milan and Gothenburg, MOSAIC Pilots, discussed with the MOSAIC Community experiences and best practices for achieving real inclusiveness in the recruitment process. They demonstrated that successful engagement of local communities on hot challenges for the community requires tailored strategies and genuine efforts to involve diverse voices.

On Tuesday 09 May, the MOSAIC Pilots and Replicators workshop took place. The event was an excellent opportunity for Replicator cities to have discussions and insights from the Pilot cities regarding the co-creation process they are running supported by MOSAIC. The lesson learned by the Pilots provided valuable knowledge for the MOSAIC Replicators who are looking to implement similar solutions in their own cities.

The MOSAIC Clinics are a series of online gatherings aimed at addressing challenges you're facing in co-creation and multi-stakeholder engagement aspects of the Mission work you're carrying out, through sharing of experiences and mutual learning.

Ensuring that access to information on air quality and health is immediate, reliable and up-to-date in order to enable citizens to adopt appropriate lifestyles and tools. This is the challenge addressed in the MOSAIC Gathering by the Giannino Bassetti Foundation with the support of the Municipality of Milan.

The Gathering is the crucial step of the MOSAIC co-creation methodology. It is the moment when all invited stakeholders come together for the first time. In Gothenburg the challenge selected for the co-creation process was related to sustainable travel and transport. How can we co-develop inclusive mobility that meets personal needs, is affordable, comfortable and reliable?

The next session, ‘MOSAIC Clinic on private sector engagement and collaborations’, will take place on Tuesday 21 February from 10:00 to 11:00 CET.

Following 'good practices' of co-creation should generate value and positive outcomes to all stakeholders gathered in your project regarding the topic addressed. But how to make sure that co-creation has been followed effectively and efficiently throughout the project? To help cities implement and align with the co-creation fundamental principles and evaluate their results, MOSAIC developed easy-to-use evaluation tools.

Mobilising co-creation to achieve a Mission goal is an excellent way for a City to contribute to both sustainability and social inclusion objectives. However, how do participants in co-creation processes know what their impact will be? How can actors who are responsible for delivering these impacts use a co-creation process so that they can stay on the impactful pathway towards their goals?
