Citizen participation processes
Participation processes are necessary channels in a democratic society, but they can however become frustrating experiences due to their ineffectiveness or potential for conflict.
We like to call it Collective Intelligence for Action because participatory processes unleash collective intelligence, our capacity to generate better realities by working together.
In order for collective intelligence to work in a coordinated way and achieve positive results, we approach each process with the following methodology:
Creating the narrative
Creating a social narrative that inspires and connects, in which people are invited to give the best of themselves.
Establishing limits
Articulating processes by handling complexity, defusing conflicts and finding a common approach.
Active listening
Listening to the people involved in the process through workshops, interviews and surveys.
Sociograms
Understanding the group relationships helps us to enhance potentiality and neutralise negative aspects.
Creative feedback
Verifying that through active listening we have understood and grasped the moment to define new emerging ideas.
Implementing results
Accompanying one other and sharing tools to effectively put the agreements reached into practice.
Would you like to know how these citizen participation processes were articulated?
