National Children's Parliament
The National Children's Parliament is an initiative of Fundación para Crecer con Fe (FUNDAL), which was recognized and declared of interest by the Argentinian Legislative Branch both at the national level and in several provinces. The National Children's Parliament had numerous editions both in the capital city and in the Legislative Branch of the provinces. Each province and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires send delegations of about three elementary school students to participate in the Parliament, who are accompanied by their teachers. At the meeting, the young parliamentarians discuss topics of their interest and formulate a project, which is then submitted to the Legislative Branch of the province in which the meeting was held.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
