Citizen Culture Programs

The Citizen Culture Programs began in 2009, and seek to make a diagnosis of attitudes and behaviors in relation to coexistence, abuse, violence, tolerance and interpersonal relationships in different cities of the country, in order to identify problematic behaviors that can be transformed through self-regulation and mutual support among citizens. The diagnosis is based on a citizen culture survey developed by the Corpovisionarios Corporation, which is complemented in each city with citizen surveys of the public space, mobility issues, interviews and focus groups. After the diagnosis, exercises and prioritization workshops are held with citizens and social leaders of each city, to select behaviors that need priority treatment, from which exercises and action plans are designed and executed with the aim of achieving cultural change.

Institutional design

?

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
