A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.
[MODULE 2] Crowdvocacy Action
Understanding Civic Mobilisation
About this process
This series of activities and resources provides participants with access to diverse case studies, research insights, and digital tools that explore the evolution of crowdvocacy as a participatory practice. Participants will engage with real-world examples of how grassroots activism, open-source platforms, and data-driven decision-making have reshaped civic engagement and advocacy.
Drawing on research into crowdvocacy as an evolution of civic engagement, participants will examine how digital tools facilitate real-time participation and continuous policy co-creation. They will also explore the historical development of the term "crowdvocacy," coined by Platoniq, and analyze its impact on digital democracy through case studies of civic engagement initiatives.
Building on these insights, participants will collaboratively develop practical resources and guides on organizing and implementing crowdvocacy initiatives. Through interactive discussions, co-creation sessions, and hands-on experimentation with digital advocacy tools, they will contribute to new strategies for citizen-driven policymaking, ensuring that public participation translates into meaningful governance outcomes.
