OBJECTIVES

In this lesson, the team discovers what civic monitoring is and begins to set up a research project by selecting a publicly funded project in their territory to monitor. Information and data are gathered on the selected project - from the administrative history that led to its implementation to contextual data related to its topic -, delves into the territorial and thematic context of the chosen project to understand the reasons for its funding, who made the decision, and under what procedures, and then learns Project Management and Team Building techniques and organises the working group (team-class) by assigning roles within the group.

What are the steps?

  • Understand what cohesion policies are, how they operate in Italy and Europe, their purpose, and why it is important to engage with them through ASOC

  • Learn about OpenCoesione, its objectives, and how to navigate the portal

  • Explore key aspects of civic monitoring through an interview with an expert on the topic

  • Discover what Open Data are and why they're important, learning the primary methods for using it in your civic monitoring research
