informiert über vorhandene Datenangebote und soll die Orientierung im vielfältigen Angebot von relevanten Daten auf kommunaler Ebene erleichtern. Das dritte Kapitel gibt anhand von innovativen Praxisbeispielen Anregungen zum konkreten Vorgehen bei der Erstellung von Sozial- oder Armutsberichten auf kommunaler Ebene. Wichtige Aspekte sind hierbei der strategische Prozess, die Sozialraum-, Beteiligungs- und Handlungsorientierung sowie die Darstellung von Armut und Armutsgefährdung. Im Anhang des Leitfadens werden ausgewählte Berichte aus Baden-Württemberg vorgestellt. Ein Blick auf die in den letzten Jahren veröffentlichten kommunalen Armuts- und Sozialberichte zeigt, dass diese durch eine große Vielfalt gekennzeichnet sind. Dies betrifft sowohl die Zielsetzungen und Konzeptionen als auch die methodischen Herangehensweisen. Hierbei wird das breite Spektrum an Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt. Dabei wird deutlich: Den Königsweg gibt es nicht, ausschlaggebend sind immer die Ausgangslagen, Wünsche, Bedarfe und nicht zuletzt die Ressourcen vor Ort. Eine Übersicht über mögliche Armutsindikatoren sowie Modellberechnungen zum Thema Reichtum und hohe Einkommen finden sich im Anhang." (Einleitung, Seite 7)

uating the impact of these films in a networked media environment [...] Drawing insights from the design thinking field—a user-focused creation process that has emerged from the commercial design field and is now being applied to create and improve social sector projects—this working paper examines state-of-the art methodologies for strategic design and evaluation of documentaries. The report’s recommendations are informed by lessons from six case studies of representative films: A Lion in the House; The Line; Lioness; Not in Our Town; Out in the Silence; and State of Fear. These are all award-winning projects featuring compelling documentary films at the center of multiplatform strategic outreach campaigns. All have been screened in traditional broadcast and/or film festival settings, as well as venues designed to engage publics and mobilize advocates relevant to the issue being addressed. These producers utilize a variety of technologies and both online and offline organizing tactics. At their most powerful, they catalyze and support issue-based networks that connect individuals with relevant organizations and empower participants not only to learn about and discuss shared problems, but to organize for action and respond to breaking developments. In this way, documentaries feed both social movements and the broader public sphere." (Introduction)
