Citizen Dialogues: the Chile that we want
The dialogues The Chile We Want is an initiative of the Government of Chile, which seeks to promote the exchange between citizens in order to formulate proposals for the country. The initiative invites citizens to convene dialogues in their communities in order to discuss topics of their interest, following some organizational guidelines suggested by the Government to structure the dialogue (the adoption of such guidelines is optional). Once the dialogue is concluded, citizens upload the dialogue's record and conclusions to a platform administered by the government, and the Ministry of Science processes the data to generate useful information for policy-oriented decision-making.
