The Portfolio directly addresses the local councillors. In a first step they should reflect on their motivations and reasons to work with the portfolio method, to fill out the manuscript and gather all the necessary documents. A well founded explanation of the portfolio method will introduce the user into the process of the portfolio. The interactive process of the portfolio is continued with a reflection of the motivations for becoming a local councillor and for executing the mandate for several years.
