The city of Mulhouse was the first city to implement the methodology to set up indicators of well-being and of social cohesion and inclusion with the citizens. This methodology was proposed by the Council of Europe in the frame of its strategy of social cohesion.

Evelyne Perrin will be the lead expert for the TOGETHER project. She will be in charge of the Baseline Study, basing on the European State of the Art and of the existing experience about the approach of Cities of co-responsibility. She will get the support from a thematic expert, Miss Elizabeth Johnston, as well as from all partners of the project. Further more, she will meet the expert from the Council of Europe, who is following this topic since 2005.

The role of the lead expert is essential to get a new objective analyse of the Cities of co-responsibility methods and tools. His analyse will help to develop the model of Cities of co-responsibility for wide dissemination purposes in Europe, by taking the multiplicity of local contexts into account.

Evelyne Perrin is particularly qualified in experimentation of new methods for integrated urban renewal of specific types of deprived areas, and strengthening measures against social and spatial exclusion.
