Report

"Decidim es una plataforma digital de democracia participativa desarrollada por el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona. Sus creadores la definen como un proyecto tecnopolítico que implica multitud de códigos más allá del informático. Emerge como ejemplo de lo que denominan “redes políticas" caracterizadas, frente a las “redes sociales”, por hacer del vínculo político y la construcción de inteligencia y voluntad colectivas el centro de su diseño y estructura. Este modelo de software libre tiene su réplica en Pamplona a través de Erabaki.” Source
