MKM initiates partnerships to improve the quality of life by enhancing people’s participation in the development of environmentally sustainable societies. It cooperates with international partners, because environmental problems do not stop at borders. Many of the current environmental challenges are worldwide. Locally, people can get support and learn from the experiences of others working on the same problems in other parts of the world. MKM connects people, organizations and networks that deal with the same challenges and want to cooperate to enhance people’s participation in defining their own future. MKM provides people with the means and skills to use the possibilities for participation, including training, advice, assistance and seed financing. As participatory decision-making processes are essential in these partnerships, MKM focuses on designing and implementing tools for participatory learning, decision making, and project implementation.
