FAQs
What can a participant (user) of Decidim do?

Decidim makes it possible for thousands of people to organize themselves democratically by making proposals, attending public meetings, fostering decision-making discussions, deciding through different forms of voting and monitoring the implementation of decisions.

We want to make a formal collaboration agreement. Are there any templates we can use?

Yes, we have templates to formalize collaboration agreements. Please contact us.

Can I join the Metadecidim community even if I don't live in Barcelona?

Of course you can. People do so through participatory processes, debates, translations, etc. that you might find in Metadecidim. Decidim was born in Barcelona and that is why there is a strong territorial bond with this city, but above all, it's a project for the commons.

I want to fund the project. How can I proceed?

Yes you can! Decidim is a non profit project and for the moment it depends completely on funding. Please find all details to fund the project at OpenCollective
