Democratization and public participation
Democratic processes are incomplete without the active participation of citizens. This category explores the ways in which the public can (and should) participate in decision-making that affects the environment, public resources, and local communities. We deal with topics such as transparency, public hearings, participatory budgeting and mechanisms for involving citizens in policy-making processes.
Our goal is to empower citizens and organizations to recognize their role and right to influence the decisions that shape their everyday lives.
Since the beginning of the student protests, we have publicly and unequivocally supported all their demands.
