Atzealdea Participatory Processes to Ensure Equal Access

Leeds organises an Equalities Assembly, participatory budgeting, intercultural dialogue platforms/round tables as well as MAP+ and the Migrant Community Networkers weekly drop-in. Additionally, the city has the Intercultural dialogue platform which was developed in 2010 when creating the ‘Vision for Leeds’ for the next 30 years. The city then undertook a public consultation to allow people who live and work in Leeds to respond on both short and long-term priorities. This was ground-breaking in terms of equal participation and was the first time the city used social media in the council on a mass scale, including blogging the opinions of each focus group and using people’s opinions inform the decision-making on future policy for the city. Further, the MAP+ ran ‘U Choose’ which provided an opportunity for individuals to apply for a small pot of funding. A community event was run in order to decide on the projects that would receive funding, which included intercultural projects.[1]
