The Workshop on Participation Methodologies brought together technicians, managers and representatives of civil society to conceptually present social participation and discussed different methodologies and tools of participatory processes that may be appropriate for public authorities in the elaboration of an action plan to make the Rio de Janeiro Sustainable Development Plan more participatory.
The Workshop on Agenda 2030 and the New Urban Agenda presented how open governmental tools can support the implementation and adaptation of global agendas at the municipal level.
