Workshop
10am to 12pm CEST
Our morning workshop delves into the essential role of physical environments in the triumph of Participatory Budgeting projects. Tailored for policymakers, urban planners, civil servants and civic advocates, this interactive session zeroes in on how "Spaces for Encounter" significantly influence the effectiveness and inclusivity of Participatory Budgeting initiatives. Participants will collaboratively explore strategies to enhance the Democratic Society’s impact model, focusing on creating and utilising physical spaces that directly bolster digital engagement and civic participation. This workshop is crucial for understanding and leveraging the physical dimension of democracy to enrich participatory budgeting processes.
Conference
5pm to 7pm CEST
Our evening roundtable gathers innovators and thought leaders at the forefront of digital democracy, including notable contributions from Decidim, BITHabitat Barcelona, and Akasha Hub. These pioneers will share invaluable insights into developing digital tools and platforms that facilitate robust civic engagement, with a special emphasis on Participatory Budgeting.
