Democracia Participativa

Democracia Participativa, or participatory democracy, is a system where citizens actively engage in decision-making processes rather than just voting for representatives. It encourages direct involvement through community meetings, consultations, and collaborative initiatives, allowing people to influence policies and priorities that affect their lives. This approach fosters a stronger sense of shared responsibility, transparency, and social trust, empowering individuals to have a meaningful say in governance beyond elections. It aims to create more inclusive and responsive governments by ensuring diverse voices are heard and considered in the policies that shape society.
