Stefano Stortone is the founder and CEO.[1] 6 other members complete the staff.

Specializations, Methods and Tools

BiPart specializes in Participatory Budgeting using dialogic methods and online interactions tools beside a long experience in participatory urban design.

They "believe in a radical transformation of democracy, driven by relationships: a democratic system should be able to create conditions for people to get informed, know each other and make decisions. On this ground, organizational structures and democratic processes should foster an open circulation of information, ideas and experiences among people: we believe this is a precondition for effective cooperation and informed management of the commons."[2]

Major Projects and Events

"BiPart supports associations, citizens and public bodies in the implementation of democratic innovations, providing them with all the necessary skills - from communication to facilitiation. BiPart developed its expertise across 8 years of fieldwork carried out by its founder and CEO as project coordinator in several local administrations through early versions of the BiPart software platform."[3]
