Abstract: Transitions in voluntary work, rising public debts and modified ways how citizens speak out politically challenge more and more the traditional structures of mobilising and making use of civic engagement. They require new models and procedures that complement the traditional ones. This paper focusses on the specific Austrian context and aims to put four possible future paths up on discussion: to integrate citizens increasingly in the process of co-decision, co-design and co-evaluation, to make more use of the so-called “donations of time”, to strengthen innovative forms in the backing of citizen involvement and to link increasingly voluntary work and donations.
