General Guidelines
Foundation
NextGen Neighbor Network constitutes several local projects within a designated area, city, or town. It is a collaboration between existing initiatives, schools, sports clubs, culture, organizations, and all volunteer work and pioneers within that area. If funding is needed to appoint the NNN Ambassador or the Miljøarbeider applications should be sent directly to local businesses within the area or existing banks and foundation supporting collaborative work. Meteva Sport og Helse AS provides the framework and guidelines only. This way local ownership to the project will be strong and sustainable.
Implementation
Pilot Projects
• Launch in a selected local area with nearby schools, theatre, sports clubs and volunteers to test and refine the model. Each area to appoint a NNN leader (Miljøarbeider) and several ambassadors.
• Involve environmental therapists, teachers, coaches, parent groups (FAU), Night Ravens, and local businesses for a holistic approach.
• Incorporate principles from MOT (Courage to say no, care, and live).
Visibility and Awareness
• Display NNN materials in schools, clubhouses, theatre, shopping centers, McDonalds, businesses, and youth hangouts.
• Adapt materials to fit local contexts.
• Use Brann Football Club and other high-profile partners to promote the initiative through their channels.
• Collaborate with police, athletes and celebrities and local media to boost awareness and credibility.
