Farming Democracy, Harvesting Sustainability

Resurgentes – Climate Assemblies Consortium

The main goal of this practice, led by Extituto with support from organizations like Delibera Brasil and Democracia en Red, was to generate a multi-stakeholder participatory process to address the issue of solid waste management in Buenaventura, a city marked by deep inequalities, forced displacement, and structural violence. The assembly emerged as the culmination of five years of territorial work and was inspired by deliberative methodologies developed in Latin America

Sowing The Seed of Deliberation

The initiative combines deliberative methodologies with accessible technology, amplified through media partnerships, to build metaconsensus—understood as possible agreements between people who think differently, without requiring unanimity

Community Engagement for Sustainable Impact

This deliberative process with farmers in Washim, India, exemplifies how deliberative democracy can empower rural communities and ensure their active participation in political decision-making—especially in crucial matters such as climate change, sustainable agriculture, and natural resource management.

ARTvocacy Movement

This project worked with youth aged 18 to 35 in informal settlements of Nairobi and Kisumu, aiming to develop effective ways to include them in democratic processes. Barriers identified included deep mistrust in government institutions, poverty, and participatory platforms that lacked feedback mechanisms. Despite these challenges, traditional structures like barazas (community meetings), WhatsApp groups, and bunges (informal parliaments) were already serving as local spaces for civic expression and were seen as opportunities to be strengthened and modernized.
