Civic Space

Civic Space helps local authorities make more informed decisions. We constantly collect and analyze the comments, ideas and suggestions of each citizen of the platform. Our software for civic participation enables local governments to take advantage of the collective minds of citizens and better understand the needs of their citizens.
We believe that with the Civic Space platform, we will give the public the opportunity to influence socially-minded decisions, to engage in joint policy-making with the municipal authorities.

Civic Space - is online citizen participation platform for adding citizens to city governance

The platform facilitates a bilateral dialogue between the municipal government of the city and its inhabitants. Citizens publish ideas, take part in competitions, public consultations, debates, implement joint projects in a convenient and accessible form.

The municipal authorities of the city consult with their citizens by conducting online debates, public consultations, polls or holding a contest of creative solutions for the existing problem. The platform helps cities turn to the collective intelligence of citizens. Understand, hear citizens. Become more sensitive to the needs of the public.

Civic Space, it helps local governments become more citizen-oriented.

Civic Space, it helps citizens participate in the process of managing a city, making decisions, and developing local policies.

Thanks to our user-friendly cloud solution, we significantly simplify the process of communication, and the attraction and cooperation of the most vulnerable segments of the population. Like any similar Internet solution, the platform allows you to join the process of participation of all segments of the population despite religion, gender, political preferences, nationality, skin color and participate in the discussion on equal terms with all other participants.

The platform allows everyone to express their opinion, suggestion, comment on equal terms, and so receive an answer, comment, recommendations from other participants of the platform.

Also, the cloud service platform, due to the absence of the need for administration, moderation, support and maintenance of the platform, allows residents of small towns to join the process of participation. The availability of Internet access is all that is necessary for city residents in order to join the platform.

We make attracting citizens to participate affordable, easy, understandable and convenient!

Dinsdag 7 november organiseert DRIFT in Theater Walhalla te Rotterdam haar allereerste interactieve podcast-avond over afbouw. Waar moeten we mee stoppen voor een beter Nederland? En hoe?

Wouter Mulders gaat in gesprek met stopstrateeg Marije van den Berg en aspirant-Minister van Afbraak Derk Loorbach. Stel je vragen live in de podcast en praat – zodra de microfoon weer uit is – onder het genot van een drankje na met andere transitiemakers. Koop hier je kaartje!

De DRIFT podcast ‘Voer voor verandering‘ gaat het vierde seizoen in. In dit nieuwe seizoen gaan we aan de slag met de vraag: als goede afbouw zo belangrijk is voor een groener en eerlijker Nederland, waarom zien we er dan zo weinig van? In vijf afleveringen, duiken we die vraag in door middel van muziek, verhalen en gesprekken met (oud-)burgemeesters, activisten, een rouw- en verliestherapeut en allerlei andere experts en ervaringsdeskundigen.

Omdat we meer willen doen dan alleen (uit)zenden, gaan we dinsdagavond 7 november een live podcast opnemen, waarin we het gesprek aan gaan met ons (luisteraars)netwerk over afbouw. Daar kun jij bij zijn!

Het programma ziet er als volgt:

18:30 – deuren open
19:00 – start van de avond met inleiding
19:45 – live opname met Wouter Mulders, Marije van den Berg en Derk Loorbach
20:30 – afsluiting
21:00 – napraten en gelegenheid tot drankje

De avond zal plaatsvinden in Theater Walhalla’s ‘Kleine Walhalla’, Sumatraweg 9-11 op Katendrecht in Rotterdam.

Kaartjes kosten € 12 en zijn te koop via deze link.
