Web-citizenship Xingu
The participatory contest "WebCitizenship Xingu" was a process organized by the Instituto Cidade Democratica in 11 cities of Pará: Altamira, Anapu, Brasil Novo, Gurupá, Medicilândia, Pacajá, Placas, Porto de Moz, Senator José Porfírio, Uruará and Vitória do Xingu . These cities were organized in 4 poles: Altamira, Uruará, Pacajá and Porto de Moz. In each pole, open calls were launched to transform the region according to the preferences and initiatives of the community itself. Through 5 stages, citizens could: 1) bring inspiration from good practices in other places, 2) make concrete proposals for the locality, 3) vote for the proposals preferred by the participants, 4) unify similar proposals among themselves?, and 5) announce the final winners of the contest. The proposals are selected by 5 categories: a) proposals from citizens, b) proposals from public servants, c) proposals from organized civil society, d) proposals from young people under 29 years of age, and e) proposals from trade unions. In total, 21 winning proposals were selected, which were presented to the Xingu Regional Sustainable Development Plan Management Committee (PDRS) and also to the regional and municipal governments.
