SOM 18th: Practical uses of Decidim in the Covid-19 crisis
We invite the entire MetaDecidim community to participate in the first telematic SOM!
In this SOM we will learn about new Decidim instances that have arisen around the convid-19 health crisis. Based on these experiences, we will discuss how we can improve Decidim to adapt to the new context and the growing demand for digital participation.
The current confinement situation, caused by the health emergency of COVID-19, implies that the social and work life of people depends largely on social networks and new technologies. This unusual situation has forced us to adapt, changing the ways and the means to make decisions, debate or make conferences. In this meeting we want to discuss how we can respond, from Decidim, to this new reality, which conditions the present moment and will mark the nearest future.
Participants
- Union Nurses of Catalonia
- Hackovid, The people’s hackathon for facing the lockdown
- From Home (Barcelona) + Lockdown Memories
- Le Jour d'après (France)
After the presentation of each experience and following a round of questions, we will organize ourselves around the following working groups
- Possible tool improvements https://meet.jit.si/DEBATE.1SOM
- How Decidim can increase democracy at a time like this https://meet.jit.si/DEBATE.2SOM
- Requirements for digital tools to contain the virus (e.g. Chaos Computer Club) - This debate has been cancelled because it was too few people.
- Digital citizen self-organization and institutional management of the crisis through digital tools https://meet.jit.si/DEBATE.4SOM
How it works:
The presentations of each instance will be streamed on Youtube.
- Q&A: Questions to speakers will be left as comments on this page. To comment, you must be registered at Metadecidim. The time for questions and answers will be limited, so the most voted ones will be prioritized.
- Working groups: Once the presentations and the Q&A are finished, the working groups will start in Jitsi rooms. You can find the links to each room in the list above.

Pregunta para Ajuntament de Barcelona: Dada la cantidad de iniciativas vecinales y sociales surgidas fuera de las lógicas institucionales, ¿os habéis planteado algun tipo de apertura de la plataforma a dichas iniciativas?
La primera apertura de la plataforma Decidim Barcelona ha sido incluir en el "Des de casa" a muchas de las iniciativas de ayuda mutua que han surgido en nuestros barrios, de esta manera, muchas personas han podido tener acceso a ellas. También hemos visto que esto no es sufuciente, ya que hay que buscar la manera de facilitar la interacción entre las distintas iniciativas y entre éstas y el propio ayuntamiento. Por otro lado, fuera de la lógica institucional han surgido muchas iniciativas que necesitan o necesitarán plataformas digitales de gobernanza y participación, y ahí el Decidim tiene mucho que ofrecer. Ya durante el 2019 más de 25 entidades muy consolidadas de Barcelona y Cataluña se han instalado el Decidim como herramienta democrática. A mi parecer, el reto ahora, a partir de la crisis de la Covid, es poner esta herramienta también a disposición de los movimientos sociales y de las redes comunitarias autogestionadas que están luchando activamente contra esta crisis.
