Cambios en "WeDecide: How the Green Party of Canada learned to create Sustainable Policy through Continuous Proposal Development"

Description:
The Green Party of Canada (GPC) is a grassroots political organization that develops and promotes environmental sustainability, social justice, and economic policies that prioritize ecological health and social well-being.

It took four years, and several false starts, for the organization to adopt WeDecide(External link) to evolve a member-driven policy process from a two year physical meeting-centred process, to a fully online continuous process that has dramatically improved member participation and policy responsiveness. Decidim allowed the party to run an entirely transparent process, visible to the public at large, as a demonstration of participatory democracy in action.

The workshop will be an interactive discussion of the benefits, risks and challenges of moving a political party’s policy development onto the open internet, using decidim as a member portal for Continuous Policy Development and organizational transparency. The discussion will include operational and cultural aspects of change management.
