EVALUATION OF OPERATING COMMUNITIES IN fsb

ABOUT THE PROJECT

fsb and Konradi - life in and between the houses have in the period 2014-2015 carried out a project on co-operation with support from the Danish Transport, Building and Housing Authorities experimental funding pool, under the theme 'Innovative methods for making the operation of social housing cheaper' (Read more here). Following this, more operating communities were established in fsb, so that today there are a total of 14 operating communities. This means that approx. 93% of fsb's homes are part of an operating community, and there is still demand to be part of these from the remaining housing departments. In order to be able to build on the experience gained from the operating communities, fsb wishes for an evaluation of processes so far.

Konradi undersøger hvordan medarbejdere og politikere i fsb oplever driftsfællesskaberne i praksis. Det drejer sig bl.a. om deres oplevelse af serviceniveau, økonomi, samarbejde, indflydelse samt andre erfaringer og læringer. Desuden suppleres med kvantitative data. Formålet med evalueringen er at få et vidensgrundlag, som beslutningen om driftsfællesskabernes fremtid kan baseres på. Evalueringen skal således resultere i viden om ”det der fungerer godt og det der eventuelt kunne fungere bedre” i driftsfællesskaberne. Målgruppen for evalueringen er ledelsen i fsb.

Conference

Konradi

What significance does it have for the individual child to be a Kid Democrat and what do housing organisations, municipalities and the local area get out of Kids Democracy?

These questions were asked at the conference on 21 November, where results and practical experiences from the national development project on Kid's democracy from 2017-2019 were presented. The conference was organized by Boligselskabet AKB, Rødovre and Konradi - Life in and between the houses. Housing Minister Kaare Dybvad opened the conference with a presentation in which he placed particular emphasis on the importance of involving children in, and learning about, democracy in practice. Several Kid Democrats gave presentations about their experiences with Kid's democracy and shared stories about personal development.

AKB, Rødovre og Konradi - liv i og mellem husene takker de fremmødte for deres deltagelse og opbakning til børnedemokratiet.

Kids democracy in residential areas in Greenland – a preliminary study and pilot test

Konradi

KIDS DEMOCRACY IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN GREENLAND

- A preliminary study and pilot testing

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The overarching goal of Kids Democracy in Greenland is to contribute to increasing the well-being, co-determination and democratic skills of children in the Greenlandic residential areas via the establishment of Kids Democracies. In the pilot project, it is being investigated how to involve children and give them a say in Greenlandic residential areas. This will happen with the establishment of a Kids Democracy in a selected residential area (pilot area) and via recommendations for further development in other residential areas in the society of Greenland.

Approx. 25% of Greenland's population are children under the age of 18 and a larger proportion of these live a child's life full of challenges. Many children grow up in homes with socio-economic challenges, experience major social problems and a lack of wellfare in their daily lives. 27% of Greenlandic children were exposed to neglect in 2008 and 42% of all households had a parent with a substance abuse in 2010.

The pilot project will take place in a housing department in Greenland's second largest city, Sisimiut. The housing department consists of several large and some small residential areas. The pilot project includes 3 residential areas: Deichmannip Aqq., Aqqartarfik and Paamaap Kuua., which together contain 393 rental properties and approx. 1,200 residents, of which around 300 are children under the age of 15. The pilot project is potentially the first part of a larger project in the future under the name Kids Democracy in residential areas in Greenland", that will span across Greenland, depending on the results of the pilot.

RESULTS

· Start of Kids Democracy in the pilotdepartment.

· Knowledge, practical experience and learning about opportunities and challenges for Kids Democracy in Greenlandic residential areas.

Rising Star

RISING STAR - Youth communities in a district in Odense

ABOUT THE PROJECT

With project Rising Star, there is a vision to create a common space and a series of joint activities for young people between the ages of 7 and 17. The project takes place across four social housing units in Odense in the Rising district. The common room must be a place where young people from the whole area can be together, inspire each other and, for example, meet educational institutions, civic associations and each other. This is meant to contribute to the district, once again, being perceived as one whole, where everyone can move safely in all areas of the district. The vision is for Rising to be the area where the city's young people meet for positive common activities across social divides, and where the young people's skills and the district's social cohesion are strengthened. The special condition of the new common room is that the young people themselves must help define it, including which activities and opportunities the room should offer. In this way, ownership and responsibility for the common space can be strengthened.

The project is still in the development phase, and is supported by Realdania and Lokale og Anlægsfonden. The result of the development phase shall be a well-described development project in the form of a realization plan. The plan will be the basis for a potential application for implementation support. Konradi - life in and between the houses acts as an advisor on the project and is, among other things, responsible for the engagement of the housing departments' children and young people as well as a number of possible partners and collaborators for Rising Star.

EVALUATION OF OPERATING COMMUNITIES IN fsb

ABOUT THE PROJECT

fsb and Konradi - life in and between the houses have in the period 2014-2015 carried out a project on co-operation with support from the Danish Transport, Building and Housing Authorities experimental funding pool, under the theme 'Innovative methods for making the operation of social housing cheaper' (Read more here). Following this, more operating communities were established in fsb, so that today there are a total of 14 operating communities. This means that approx. 93% of fsb's homes are part of an operating community, and there is still demand to be part of these from the remaining housing departments. In order to be able to build on the experience gained from the operating communities, fsb wishes for an evaluation of processes so far.

Konradi investigates how employees and politicians in fsb experience the operating communities in practice. This is, among other things, about their experience of the service level, finances, collaborations, influence and other relevant experiences and learnings. This is further supplemented with quantitative data. The purpose of the evaluation is to obtain a knowledge base on which the decision about the future of the operating communities can be based. The evaluation must thus result in knowledge about "what works well and what could possibly work better" in the operating communities. The target group for the evaluation is the management of fsb.

CITY-WIDE EFFORT IN INDOOR RECYCLING

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project is an extension of the two pilot projects "Test of indoor recycling in social housing areas" (see here) and "Local resources and indoor recycling" (see here), The results in the two tests have been promising, and Copenhagen municipality therefore wants to roll out their service design as a city-wide effort for the whole of Copenhagen. In is in this effort that Konradi – life in and between the houses, assists the municipality of Copenhagen the contact and cooperation with the social housing organizations in Copenhagen, which make up approx. 20% of the housing stock in the municipality.

Konradi – life in and between the houses provides strategic advice in connection with the municipality of Copenhagen's communication with the social housing organisations. The operational staff in the individual housing departments play an absolutely central role in ensuring that the rollout of Copenhagen municipality's efforts has the best possible effects on waste sorting. Konradi - life in and between the houses therefore prepares the communication material that will form the basis for the housing organizations and departments to support the city-wide effort.

RESULTS

Communication materials targeted towards the housing organizations as well as the housing department's local resources - the operating staff and the department board - to increase recycling in the social housing areas.

Test of indoor recycling in social housing areas

Konradi

TEST OF INDOOR RECYCLING IN SOCIAL HOUSING AREAS

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Copenhagen municipality has for a goal that 45% of Copenhageners' waste is recycled in 2018, and in the years to come, even more must be sorted. In continuation of a series of pilot tests in 2017, which examined how the municipality of Copenhagen can encourage its residents to recycle more of their waste, experiences and results are now combined in a new and larger test. One of the central pilot tests that forms the basis for the new test is the project "Local resources and indoor waste sorting", which was carried out by Konradi - life in and between the houses, and which you can read more about here. In the new test, local resources - operating staff and department board - who will act as ambassadors for indoor waste sorting is combined with an online course aimed at giving the residents knowledge as well as tips and tricks about waste management (Servicedesign 2.0). These two elements is meant to improve recycling in the residential areas. Continuous weighing of the recycled waste is carried out in order to gain insight into the concrete effects of the effort. The results of the test determine whether the service design should be rolled out to the rest of Copenhagen.

WELFARE SURVEY AT VAPNAGAARD 2017

ABOUT THE PROJECT

As a part of the comprehensive plan for residential social work "Together about Vapnagaard 2015-2017", Konradi - life in and between the houses in 2017 carried out the second of two wellfare surveys at Vapnagaard. The wellfare survey of 2017 is thus a continuation of a similar survey carried out in 2015. Both surveys were carried out as a written questionnaire given to all residents and you can read more about the first wellfare survey here. In the wellfare survey for 2017, the purpose was to obtain knowledge about the well-being and civic participation at Vapnagaard and to provide the opportunity for a follow-up on selected success criteria in the comprehensive plan for residential social work. The survey showed that the residents were very satisfied with living at Vapnagaard, and that well-being in a number of areas had improved compared to the wellfare survey of 2015. The survey also provided knowledge about potentials for creating (even better) conditions for well-being and civic participation at Vapnagaard. For example, is there a potential for increasing residents' knowledge on how they can participate in joint activities, clubs and associations and to achieve an even better neighborhood and community.

Comprehensive Plan for residential social work in Helsingør Syd

Konradi

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR RESIDENTIAL SOCIAL WORK IN HELSINGØR SYD IN THE PERIOD 2018-2021

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Nøjsomhed and Vapnagaard are two residential areas located in southern Helsingør. The areas are characterized by having a large number of resources and strengths, but also by being challenged on a number of parameters. The areas will have a new joint comprehensive plan for residential social work that sets the framework for the residential social work in the period 2018 to 2021. Prior to the preparation for the comprehensive plan, an extensive engagement process has been carried out among residents and partners in order to gain input and create ownership of the plan. The vision for the new comprehensive plan is to support the residents' existing resources and skills, as well as creating strong communities and the building of capacity across the residential areas. This is, among other things, to break with the negative social heritage, and for the areas to be experienced as safe places to live and move around in.

RESULTS

Comprehensive plan on residential social work for Helsingør Syd for the period 2018 until 2021.
