A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.
The Fifth Faro Convention Network (FCN) at the Venice International University
Faro Convention Action Plan
About this process
The Fifth Faro Convention Network (FCN) is an annual gathering organized in the framework of the Faro Convention Action Plan. It took place at the Venice International University on the 7th and 8th of December 2021. The gathering was aimed at exchanging views on the activities and good practices in line with the Faro Convention, which have been implemented by Network members at the local, regional and national levels, to serve as inspiration for present and future projects. Further, the participants discussed specific topics such as visibility, narratives, and authorities’ cooperation. Another focus was to make decisions on the outstanding issues in the implementation of Faro initiatives. The meeting also sought to explore synergies and possible joint projects between the FCN members and define the objectives and work plan for the Network in 2022.
