Crowdmapping Platforms
Crowdmapping is a type of Crowdsourcing , which is the practice of obtaining services, ideas, functions, or contacts from a large and undefined network of people.
Forum Theatre
Forum theatre – also known as Boal’s Theatre, Theatre of the Oppressed, or Theatre for Development – uses theatre to achieve social aims, and is often undertaken by socially excluded or disempowered groups. It is an interactive form of theatre that engages the audience in exploring different options for dealing with a problem or issue.
Citizen Report Cards
Citizen Report Cards (CRC) are participatory surveys used to engage citizens in assessing public services such as health, education and transport – particularly where existing data is scarce. This can include the availability of services, access and usage, quality and reliability, problems encountered by service users, transparency in provision, costs, and suggestions for improvements. CRCs are designed to raise citizen awareness and ultimately bring about reforms in the public service delivery system.
