Overall, the last phase of the WeCount case studies aims at implementing actions to ensure that: (1) the findings are effectively disseminated across different venues reaching appropriate audiences; (2) the impact of the case study is translated into policy making-oriented debates; (3) the learning from the action is captured and codified to foster both long-lasting impact and replicability of the pilot; (4) positive and negative experiences are captured, ordered, and disseminated to contribute

This phase includes three sub-phases that are described separately in the pdf file below together with a description of the tools and methods developed to address them. Tool, Policy Brief: a tool specifically focused on targeting relevant governmental agencies and local authorities (both at the local and the international level. It consists of a four-pages document written specifically for policy makers and/or others interested or involved in formulating or influencing mobility-related policies.

The key aspect here is to stimulate participants' creativity in planning the journey from the WeCount intervention towards effective positive change in favor of a more sustainable mobility. Change here can be envisioned both from a beha [...]
