Description

MiMedellín recognizes and formulates with the help of citizens, priority themes that need the ideas of citizens for their successful realization.

Through the website www.MiMedellin.org and social networks; MiMedellín publishes periodically the themes related to each season (4 seasons, each of 75 days). The citizens of Medellín and the World are invited to participate in the formulation of new ideas and projects that respond to each of the topics published. Through social technologies, citizens have the ability to vote, filter, comment and share the ideas of others while at the same time gain points (Medallions) to become leaders of citizen co-creation. The most voted authors and ideas will be identified and publicly acknowledged at the end of each season. The finalist ideas will be taken into account by those responsible for implementing the projects that will transform the city.
