« Municipality is ours » is a Massive Open Online Citizen Course (MOOC), a tool to freely and largely disseminate experiences, tools and analysis on the diversity of municipalism in the world and how it can be a possible and concrete political alternative at the local level in France.
The MOOC intends to meet 2 main goals :
A better understanding of municipalism in public debate. A campaign in the public debate in France towards the 2020 local elections to better know municipalism as a concrete political alternative.
To strengthen local municipalist dynamics in emergence. Resources for citizens, activists and experts to seize experiences, tools, alternative public policies coming from International, European, Spanish and French municipalist initiatives to inspire and kick off similar dynamics in their own contexts.
