Next 28 November it will be held the III edition of the Annual Meetings Metadecidim (JAM), the annual assembly of the community of Decidim, the digital platform of participation for cities and organizations.
The event is organized by Barcelona City Hall, CNSC (Technopolitics) research group of the IN3 (UOC), Localret, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Eurecat and aLabs. With the collaboration of Metadecidim, Decidim, Fundació Ferrer i Guàrdia, Ciutat Oberta, Colectic, Open Source Politics and Som Energia.
Under the motto Decidim. From social to political networks, during this meeting will be presented the latest version of Decidim, which incorporates new improvements and features that make it a reference of political network; in turn, the event will serve to present the current state of development of the platform in its three layers (technological, community, political), the most recent success stories of organizations and administrations that use the platform and its main challenges for the future.
The JAM18 are held at a crucial moment for the project. As it has developed as a platform for democratic participation, international interest and its adoption have been growing in various cities. In turn, the project faces a key challenge: to shape a governance model of its Metadecidim community.
The JAM is an opportunity for the Decidim community, citizens and in general anyone connected to the productive ecosystem of Decidim (institutions, companies and social organizations) to meet, discuss and rethink collectively and in an open, transparent and collaborative way the future of Decidim so that each day is more useful for the participatory democracy of cities and organizations around the world.
