Mudamos
Mudamos (lit. We Change) is an online platform created in 2015 by the Institute of Technology and Society of Rio de Janeiro with the aim of creating a space for deliberation on issues of public interest for different societal stakeholders. Until January 2017, two issues were deliberated on the platform: Political Reform in the 21st century and Public Safety. The deliberations have two phases: in the first, regarding civil society participation, citizens interact with the proposed topic by answering questions, agreeing or disagreeing on other citizens? answers, among other types of interaction; in the second, regarding reporting, the contributions and interactions are collected and analyzed by a team of experts on the topic discussed. The final document will be made available to the public and to the relevant stakeholders linked to the formulation and implementation of these policies. The only available report until January 2017 refers to the cycle of debates on security issues, which received approximately 900 contributions on the platform and 9431 comments on Facebook. The online debate also included discussions with experts on the subject, such as Federal Police agents, Amnesty International Brazil, a psychologist from the Military Police, a representative of the civil society and a Civil Police commissioner.
