Festival della Partecipazione

Bologna, Italy

Democratic innovationUrban commons and municipalismFestivalNational

Annual festival promoted by ActionAid Italia and Cittadinanzattiva, held in Bologna since 2020 after four editions in L'Aquila (2016 to 2019). It gathers civic organisations, public bodies and activists in debates, workshops and presentations on participation, rights and decision spaces. It is the main civil society event on participatory democracy in Italy; its reliance on two large NGOs and institutional patronage shapes its agenda.
