Community and Citizen Groups

This is a critical section for localized action, ensuring communities can share their own content and initiatives.

Community Portal

• Local Groups Directory:
  A searchable catalog where users can find or create pages for local citizen groups.
• Community Homepages:
  Each community or citizen group gets its own portal page to share relevant information, ongoing initiatives, events, and discussions.
• Template & Guidelines for Starting a Group:
  Step-by-step instructions, best practices, and downloadable templates for community organizers to launch and maintain group activities.
• Aggregation of Local Impact:
  Links to community success stories, project listings, and local contributions feeding into the national “Direct Impact Feedback” dashboard.

Regional Hubs & Collaboration

• Inter-Community Collaboration Tools:
  Forums, wikis, and messaging boards where local groups can collaborate, share ideas, and support joint initiatives.
• Local Policy Adaptation:
  A space within each community page where localized versions of national proposals are discussed, tailored, and reviewed.
• Event Calendars and Volunteer Opportunities:
  Integrated with local community pages to allow citizens to sign up for meetings, hackathons, or public consultations.
