Digital Courtyard
"Pátio Digital" is a participatory space put in place by the Municipal Secretariat of Education of Sao Paulo and UNESCO. It was created with the objective of drafting, implementing and evaluating public education policies together with citizens through an open government strategy. To this end, this space promotes open data and mechanisms of access to information. In addition, it creates networks of actors involved in the field of public education to discuss the problems faced by the city's educational system. It uses a methodology that promotes collaborative work through Open Innovation Cycles. During the first innovation cycle of "Pátio Digital," a platform was designed to increase transparency in the distribution of meals in public schools. During the second, a collaborative mapping was carried out to identify the accessibility and transportation available to students. During the third one, a consultation was carried out in order to create a new curriculum for schools.
