Castel Gandolfo - Rome - Italy

17-20 January 2019

7 out of 10 citizens will live in urban areas by 2050. This growing urbanization increases the social, economic and political importance of the city today in a world with lower barriers and concerns with identity.

The city has to face enormous problems with less and less resources, but it proves more and more capable of solving problems that national and international levels face with scarce results. Vision, cooperative capacity, resilience and many other skills are required, as well insight on the international perspective, for those choosing to give a genuine service for the public good,.

The first challenge is how to govern today’s cities. Are head-strong mayors or energetic city managers or smart technologies or precise schedules sufficient?

Does mutual responsibility play a more determining role today ?  

About Co-Governance

O Conceito

• Mesmo para quem não é especialista no assunto, não é difícil compreender que o ideal de um governo democrático implica a ampla participação dos cidadãos na gestão da coisa pública. Especialmente no âmbito da cidade, essa demanda é uma exigência fundamental, capaz de promover o bem comum e, assim, atender os principais anseios da comunidade. Mediante relações fraternas, diálogo e corresponsabilidade, mais que um conceito, a cogovernança se apresenta como um modelo de gestão pública capaz de corresponder a essas características, nos contextos altamente complexos das cidades contemporâneas.
   

• Diretamente associado à cogovernança, o conceito de governança em rede é fundamental para esse processo de fortalecimento da democracia. Dinamicidade, fluidez e pluralidade são características das redes que, em ação, viabilizam a cogovernança e uma vida social mais equilibrada no que diz respeito aos mais variados aspectos da convivência em sociedade como a própria política e governo, economia, meio ambiente e outros. 
   

• Desse modo todos os atores da cidade contribuem ao trazer o seu ponto de vista específico: políticos, empresários, movimentos sociais, associações de profissionais, universitários e cidadãos engajados são convidados a compor juntos essa rede.

​

O Evento

• O 2º Congresso Internacional da Cogovernança será realizado no Brasil entre os dias 9 e 12 de outubro.
   

• O evento é uma promoção do Movimento Político pela Unidade (MPpU) e Humanidade Nova, iniciativas do Movimento dos Focolares.
   

• A primeira edição do evento aconteceu em 2019, no Centro Internacional do Movimento dos Focolares, em Castegandolfo, Italia (Roma) , e reuniu 400 participantes, entre administradores públicos, políticos, empreendedores, acadêmicos e representantes da sociedade civil de 33 países.
   

• Este ano, em função da pandemia de Covid-19, o congresso será realizado apenas na modalidade virtual.
   

• A exemplo do evento anterior, o programa do 2º Congresso Internacional de Cogovernança deverá contar com palestras, relatos de experiências, mesas redondas e atividades em grupo cujo objetivo é aprofundar o conceito central, tendo em vista sua aplicação concreta no governo das cidades, cujo âmbito de participação está mais próximo da realidade dos cidadãos em geral.
