CidaDonos
The participatory contests "CidaDonos" (lit. City Owners) were organized by the Instituto Ciudade Democratica in collaboration with the Movimento Voto Consciente Jundiaí during 2013, 2014 and 2015. Open calls were launched to transform the city of Jundiaí according to preferences and initiatives from the community. Through 5 stages, citizens could: 1) bring inspiration from good practices in other places, 2) make concrete proposals for the locality, 3) vote for the proposals preferred by the participants, 4) unify similar proposals among themselves, and 5) announce the final winners of the contest. Proposals were selected by 4 categories: a) proposals from citizens, b) proposals from public servants, c) proposals from organized civil society, and d) proposals from young people under 29 years of age. In total, 12 projects were selected to be executed in the city. This contest took place 3 times during succesive years.
