Decidim

Funcionalitats

The platform for democratic organisations and communities of any size and kind.

You can use the Decidim software in a public or private organisation, with hundreds or thousands of potential participants, such as a city council, public institution, associations, NGOs, universities, trade unions, cooperatives or neighbourhood communities. With Decidim you will be able to configure spaces for digital participation and organize contributions and discussions through the multiple available components.

Espais de participació

Components

Participatory spaces can be combined with components that push participation and adapt to your needs. You can add all the features you want and customise your platform.
1 Receive Contributions
Propostes

Your ideas in detail

Create a proposal using a creation wizard, compare it with the existing ones, publish it on the platform and include additional information such as geolocation or attached documents and images. This component also allows you to navigate, filter and interact with a set of proposals. In addition, with the proposal-incubator you can create collaborative proposals.

Textos col·laboratius

To analyze, synthesize, and build in common

Can be used to convert long text documents into several proposals or results and, vice versa, to compose and display a unified text based on a collection of proposals or results.

Enquestes

Perquè l'opinió de la teva comunitat importa

Design and publish surveys. Display and download results.

2 Discuss and deliberate
Trobades

To meet and not miss anything

El component trobades ofereix a les organitzacions i als participants la possibilitat de convocar reunions, definir lloc i hora, registrar i limitar el nombre d’assistents, definir l’estructura i els continguts d’una cita o trobada presencial, així com de publicar-ne les actes i les propostes resultants.
