Send in your suggestions for the ‘Green Light for Poruba’ project

Governance

You come up with the idea, and we’ll turn it into a reality. In a nutshell, that’s the concept behind the participative budget project ‘Green Light for Poruba’, which is now entering its third year.

Do you have an idea which would improve quality of life in Poruba, benefiting your friends and neighbours? Are you willing to invest a modest amount of time and energy in making your idea come true? If so, then from 1 May to 30 June you can send in your ideas as part of the ‘Green Light for Poruba’ project – a perfect way of helping to improve the public space we all share. Anybody over age 15 and living in Poruba is eligible to enter the competition. This year, for the first time, the project is also open to non-profit groups and municipally funded organizations operating in Poruba.

The maximum budget available to any one proposal is 700 000 CZK; we have set this limit in order to enable several projects to share the available funding. Poruba has put aside a total 1.5 million CZK to fund successful projects (the same sum as last year). In November, Poruba residents will be able to vote for the best ideas – and the winning projects will be implemented by the municipal district in 2019. If you want to check whether your idea is suitable for the project, you can contact the project coordinator Sabina Dudová directly (see contacts below).

The project was launched two years ago, and all the proposals from the first year were implemented during last year. The successful proposals from 2017 are currently in the implementation phase; work has already begun on improvements to the “traffic playground” at the Ukrajinská Street preschool.

For more information (including simple instructions on how to enter the competition), see the project website www.zelenaporube.cz.
