#openheritage(External link) Getting partners involved and excited about participatory processes
A progressive engagement strategy was launched for partners to familiarize themselves and get involved with participating on our online platform.
Through this phase OH partners have the opportunity, understand and learn the platform by heart. As participants they are able understand what the user experience and facilitate the use of the platform within the communities they work with.
OH partners will be expected to go through the steps featured below, each of the 6 STEPS or tasks can also be seen here(Opens in new tab).
OH Partners are now managing and design their own processes on Decidim!

A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.
In order to participate in a process (for example filling out the survey(Opens in new tab)) each individual must be registered as a User. In The Manual For Users(Opens in new tab) (under the option ´help´ at the top right corner of the platform´s menu) are instructions for registering.
After our partners became participants or users, they were able to take part in the Partner Engagement Strategy. At this phase they were given a survey. You can check out their results here, Participation that Motivates You!(Opens in new tab) For information on how to submit a survey check out ´Manual for Users(Opens in new tab)´ and click on ´How to submit a Survey(Opens in new tab)´.
In this step partners were able to create groups and proposals for the OH Berlin Consortium Meeting in May 2019. In order to learn more about creating a group and group proposal check out the manual(Opens in new tab) in the ´help´ section of this platform (check text ´How to create a Group(Opens in new tab)´ and then read ´How to create a Group Proposal´(Opens in new tab)).
Once proposals are created, participants are able to vote or comment on each proposal.
The OH partners have been given the keys to their Decidim Participatory platforms!
It's up to them to take on the role of Administrator. Administrators prepare the modules (Processes, Assemblies, Initiatives) so that Participants can take part in democratic and efficient decision making on Decidim. Administrators or OH partners fill the role of engaging their communities and strategizing to make their online platforms spaces for communities and actors to learn more and take action on and offline. They will be collaborating with Platoniq to support their work and customize their platforms to fit their contexts and specific needs.
For each OH partner the first task as an Administrator is to create a process in which participants can take part in. Here partners are able to use components and and create processes that best fit their contexts. Check out our 'Help' for how to create or execute some of Decidim's features.
The OH partners are invited to collaborate on a participatory text where they take what they've learned about heritage and reuse and share their learning through writing together on a text that connects our values within OpenHeritage and giving greater meaning to OpenHeritage: Organizing, Promoting and Enabling Heritage Reuse through Inclusion, Technology, Access, Governance and Empowerment. To learn more about how to use this feature, check out guide in the help section linked here.(Opens in new tab) In addition, Platoniq will begin to publish a newsletter to inform our partners about the events and updates within our OH community.
Now that our labs have been up and running, the next step is to do a health check to see how far they've come and how participatory they have been.
