Apps4citizens is an initiative which
aims to promote participation and
civic, social and political engagement
through the use of mobile
applications.
The platform, based on a user who
interacts, has three complementary
approaches:
• For a citizen it is a place to find
and propose apps so that it will
build a quality selection among all
• For application developers it is a
stimulus for their work
• For organizations it has the ability
to articulate innovation differently
(with a certain model and values).
All this goes under the common
umbrella of social commitment
and collective political action for
the improvement of the quality of
democracy.
The project is built on four legs:
1. the appteca (compilation apps)
2. the festivalapp (recognition)
3. the hackapp (development)
4. wikapp (knowledge about the
subject).
The project involves dozens of experts
in order to evaluate and assess the
applications that are proposed by the
leaders but also by individual citizens
who join the initiative.
