The Laboratory of Civic Participation was established to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences between various circles and people involved in participatory activities and to promote the idea and practical tools of civic participation. The goal of running the portal and organizing seminars and meetings is to contribute to better communication and mutual learning of actors engaged in the area of civic participation. The portal also aims at sharing the collected knowledge in an accessible way with people who have not yet dealt with participation or are searching for inspiration in their participatory endeavours. The Laboratory also runs a webpage dedicated to participatory budgeting, which gathers data on PB processes organized in Polish communes, as well as various resources dealing with this mechanism.
