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 1: Dignity, Agency and Solidarity

Recognising our democratic worth, shaping participation and turning individual experiences into collective strength

Erről a folyamatról

Explore how democratic dignity, self-determination and intersectional solidarity create the foundations for meaningful participation and collective agency.

Meaningful participation begins with recognising that people have democratic worth, agency and the capacity to shape the processes that affect them.

This module introduces three interconnected democratic capabilities: Democratic Dignity, Self-determination and Intersectional Solidarity.

Democratic Dignity is the freedom and opportunity to recognise our own democratic worth and that of others. Participation should make people feel that their presence, knowledge and contribution matter.

Self-determination means having the freedom and opportunity to shape the aims and forms of participation. Rather than simply entering processes designed by others, participants should be able to influence what is discussed, how participation happens and what priorities are pursued.

Intersectional Solidarity moves from individual experiences towards collective understanding and action. It asks how different experiences of exclusion, vulnerability and inequality can become a basis for mutual recognition, resilience and collective agency.

Through reflection and practical activities, this module invites participants to consider:

Who defines the terms of participation?
What makes people feel that their contribution matters?
How can participants exercise real ownership over a process?
How can different lived experiences become a basis for solidarity rather than remain isolated individual experiences?

The aim is to think beyond simply inviting people to participate and towards creating conditions in which people can recognise their own agency, shape participation and act collectively.
