"Year of Civil Discourse on Israel - Bay Area, California","erg5uw","The Year of Civil Discourse on Israel was a year long initiative organized by the Jewish Community Relations Council of San Francisco, The Peninsula, Marin, Sonoma, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties. The Initiative was designed to foster discussion and community building among the Bay Area Jewish Community over disagreements regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict. From December 2010 to December 2011 a number of events were held to help tackle this issue, such as facilitator training sessions and book and movie reviews. Following the Initiative, the community was once again able to institute Israel themed programs throughout the community and have meaningful, respectful discussions. Organizers and participants of the Year of Civil Discourse are now influencing and trying to find more ways to get involved with the national discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian issue.","The Year of Civil Discourse on Israel was a year long initiative organized by the Jewish Community Relations Council of San Francisco, The Peninsula, Marin, Sonoma, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties.

En el plano económico es una urbe con gran dinamismo, destacada como uno de los principales centros financieros, industriales, comerciales y de servicios de Colombia, y por ser la sede de numerosas empresas nacionales e internacionales, principalmente en los sectores textil, confecciones, metalmecánico, eléctrico y electrónico, telecomunicaciones, automotriz, alimentos y salud.  Cuenta con una población de 2.300.000 habitantes (aproximadamente según proyecciones basadas en censo 2005).   Es considerada como la segunda ciudad más poblada del país.

-	Comunas (zona urbana): 16
-	Corregimientos en zona rural:  5
-	Barrios (urbanos oficiales):  249

La Alcaldía de Medellín se comprometió con la implementación de un modelo de gestión pública orientada al fortalecimiento de una administración transparente y participativa, permitiendo que la ciudadanía sea partícipe de manera activa y co-responsable en los procesos de la planeación local y en la destinación de los recursos públicos.

Las organizaciones sociales, los líderes y lideresas, y la ciudadanía en general, han desarrollado y fortalecido mediante este programa, una nueva metodología para la participación democrática, con la construcción de escenarios deliberativos en los que es posible la formulación de diagnósticos, la priorización de las inversiones y la concertación del desarrollo local.

"Puente Alto. Participación Ciudadana en la Política Habitacional","EDUARDO_T","Este artículo presenta un caso de participación comunitaria, desarrollado en Santiago de Chile en contextos de extrema pobreza. Al incluir la participación en el plan de maximizar la calidad de las políticas que se implementan, cobra particular relevancia el caso de la inclusión de los sectores más pobres, esto porque se plantea un mayor desafío en la integración de las personas en el proceso. Para el caso de las políticas de vivienda, esto puede entenderse dado que se espera participación en torno a un bien altamente valorado, antes inaccesible, y por lo tanto se pronostica que los efectos de esta intervención  -como el logro de una mayor integración social-  sean fuertes y permanezcan en el tiempo.
