German term or phrase: Inszenarien
In der Gemeinschaft mit anderen entstehen Plattformen, neue Orte, Inszenarien, die häufig als Ausgangspunkt für ein zukünftiges Miteinander dienen. Im Entstehungsprozess dieser “Installationen” ist jeder zu einem unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkt, zumindest für einen Moment der Protagonist. Jeder am Prozess Teilhabende fühlt sich hierdurch für das Ergebnis verantwortlich und innerlich mit ihm verbunden.

stagings


Explanation:
I would say "stagings."
But I am not sure if there is a pluaral for "staging."
I know only that the term cannot be "scenarios."

If it is allowed to put a Frech expression in an English text, I would take \"mises en scène.\"

neutral  Derek Gill Franßen: Could be... plural is "stagings" = "Inszenierungen" (see: http://www2.hu-berlin.de/ethno/seiten/forschen/projekte/dfg/...

  -> Thank you, Derek. I like your simple situations. Scenes would be just "Szenen."
neutral  Kevin Pfeiffer (X): From the excerpt I can't decide, but just to add my 2 cents: staging is more active (gestellt) and 'scenes/situations' is more passive ('opportunities for...').

  -> Thanks for your comment. That was why I like Derek's "situations."
agree  Mario Marcolin: staging/stage setting (in the sense of mise-en-scène)

  -> Thank you, Mario. The problem is ... "scenes/situations" is more passive ("opportunities for..."). And that might be the right answer.
