The participatory platform of the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region and the French-speaking Parliament of Brussels.
The French-speaking Parliament of Brussels and the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region have commissioned Open Source Politics to set up a platform to make it easier for the people of Brussels to access the participatory democracy processes of deliberative commissions and petitions.
This platform allows you to submit thematic proposals (citizens' suggestions or petitions); to sign these proposals; and to follow their progress.
The suggestions and petitions are all analysed by the services of the two assemblies, which that they comply with the admissibility criteria.
European Metropolis of Lille: citizen participation reinvented
With more than 40 consultations to its credit, MEL's participation platform has brought together thousands of citizens around its public policy co-construction projects. ???? In 2018, MEL received the consultation and participation trophy from the Gazette des communes for its #JEM Jeunes en métropole project.
The first step for our team was to preparing the launch of the participatory platform. We have therefore organized several workshops to understand their participation issues and practices (charter, metropolitan context, etc.) and training to ensure a good appropriation of the platform by the MEL teams. It is on this basis that we were able to begin the work of customization of Decidim in connection with their teams :
Communication: to adapt Decidim to their identity;
ISD: for technical issues (security, RGPD, etc.)
Participation: to produce all the content needed to present the platform (home page, help pages etc.)
Successfully launched at the Rencontres Nationales de la participation in Lille in 2018. Our teams ensured a close follow-up to accompany the first steps in order to offer Romain De Nève, the participation officer, all the assistance required to ensure that he was able to take full control of all the possibilities of the platform. This is how we have developed a special relationship with the MEL, which today occupies an important place in our user club, where their use of the platform has been presented on several occasions. We consider them today as true partners with whom we go so far as to associate ourselves in bids for innovative projects from the European Union.

Type of project: Concertation, consultation, calls for proposals
The Project
As part of a project to develop digital tools and their usage, the joint association of e-collectivities wanted to set up an online platform for local authorities in the Vendée region. The platform makes it possible to organise consultations with citizens, surveys and votes, calls for projects to support innovation, idea boxes to stimulate creativity, or even to launch a participatory budget in order to allocate a budget to projects chosen by the inhabitants.
Type of project: Citizen consultation, public inquiry
The Project
In June 2017, the government adopted a decree offering communities the possibility of returning to the 4-day week for children living in its territory.
In order to better include its citizens in the decision-making process, the city organized an online public survey to gather the various opinions of parents and teachers.
Keys to success
A consultation with a significant impact for the city's residents.
Putting videos online that expose the stakes of the different choices.
An important documentation to nourish reflection on this subject.
