Eestlaste loodud iduettevõte Future Dialog loojad kutsusid valdade esindajad septembrikuu viimasel päeval seminarile Eestimaa südamesse – Paidesse. Future Dialog pakub läbi kogukonnaäpi omavalitsustele viisi luua kogukonnaliikmetega dialoog ning kaasata kogukonda otsuste tegemisse. Seminaripäeval mõtestati kaasamise võimalusi. Ideid jagas ka meediaekspert Raul Rebane. 

Future Dialog juhatuse liige Hendrik Hindov juhatas seminaripäeva sisse ettekandega, mis andis ülevaate äpi funktsionaalsustest ning eristuvusest traditsiooniliste kanalitega. “Valla koduleht ja Facebooki grupp on kahtlemata kogukonna kaasamiseks head võimalused, ent vaadates, kuidas mõne ettepaneku peale hakkab grupis elu keema ja seda mitte just kõige konstruktiivsemal viisil, siis ei soosi need diskussioonis osalemist. Äpp on kanal, kust elanikud leiavad kiirelt enda jaoks vajalikku usaldusväärset infot ning tänu millele tunnevad ennast kogukonna otsustustesse kaasatuna,“ rääkis Hindov sissejuhatuseks kuidas äpp aitab omavalitsust elanikele ja omakorda elanikele omavalitsust lähemale tuua.

Hindovi sõnul on oluline üheskoos mõelda, kuidas KOV esindaja rollist tulenevaid võimalusi kogukonna vajaduste heaks parimal võimalikul moel rakendada. Just seetõttu kutsuti seminarile esinema oma ala eksperdid.

Raul Rebane

Teiste seas tegi ettekande ka tuntud meediaekspert Raul Rebane, kelle sõnul on eduka kommunikatsiooni aluseks oma lugu. Sedasama oma loo loomist pidas Rebane väga oluliseks kommunikatsiooniinimestele südamele panna. Tema sõnul on kogukondade suurimaks murekohaks suutmatus enda tugevusi märgata ja oskamatus kaasata kogukonnaliikmeid kodukoha elu arendamisse.

Seminaripäeval jagas oma kogemusi kogukonnarakendusega Rait Pihelgas, endine Järva vallavanem, praegune Järva Vallavolikogu esimees. Kogemuslugu puudutas enim äpi kasutegureid riski- ja kriisikommunikatsiooni puhul. Kuna enamus KOVe kasutavad hetkel põhikanalina Facebooki lehekülgi, milles teavitused õigeaegselt inimesteni ei jõua, siis ilmnes suur vajadus äpi kasutamiseks, kust saab saata kriisiolukorras teavitusi otse telefoniekraanile. “Tahes-tahtmata ei külastata valla kodulehte iga päev, Facebooki kaob info ära – mistõttu on äpp mugav lahendus elanikeni jõudmiseks. Näiteks saad teavitada konkreetset küla teda puudutava infoga nagu teeremont, ümbersõit või kogu valda teavitada koroonaviirusega seonduvast, näiteks avatud vaktsineerimispunktidest,” sõnas Pihelgas oma ettekandes.

Kommunikatsioonialastest väljakutsetest oli kõnelemas ka Martin Jaško, endine valitsuse strateegilise kommunikatsiooni juht ja AS Eesti Varude Keskuse kommunikatsioonijuht. Seminaripäeval osalesid näiteks Hiiumaa, Türi, Viljandi, Saue ja Viljandi avalike suhete inimesed. Lisaks osales ka Türi vallavanem Pipi-Liis Siemann.

Future Dialog kogukonnaäpp on mõeldud igale kohalikule omavalitsusele, kes otsib viise, kuidas paremini oma elanikega dialoogis olla. Rakendus võimaldab omavalitsusel inimestelt lihtsalt ja vahetult tagasisidet küsida. Samuti saavad elanikud ise kohalikule võimule ükskõik, mis teemal tagasisidet anda või küsimusi esitada. Äpist leiab ka kogukonnas toimuvate ürituste kalendri ning olulised päevakajalised uudised. 

Future Dialogi ambitsiooniks on parandada kaasatust kohalike omavalitsuste ja kogukondade vahel. Eestis kasutavad kogukonnaäppe viis kohalikku omavalitsust, kelle seas on nt Elva vallavalitsus, Hiiumaa vald, Järva vald jt. Lahenduse loojatel on õnnestunud huvi äratada ka rootslastes ning Soomes kasutavad kogukonnaäppi kümme kohalikku omavalitsust. Plaan on laiendada tegevust ka teistesse Skandinaavia riikidesse.

Võta meiega ühendust ja arutame, kuidas Future Dialog aitab teil enda kogukonda paremini mõista.
