3-WHY DO WE COLLECT THESE DATA?

Wikispiral.org is a collaborative and open WEB site, in the sense that it aims to build knowledge in the form of databases and syntheses from the contributions of the various platforms and groups of citizens involved in the process and make them available to all. Therefore, the resultant databases and syntheses are a public good of common interest, at the local level for the participating territories, at higher levels (regional, national, European, global) as a source of information and research for public policies or for horizontal exchanges between local territories or between regions, countries, continents. In legal terms all data stored on this site is under the Creative Commons license BY:NC:SA. The databases thus constituted are:

• Territories or institutions that apply the approach, with WEB pages created and made available to the multi-actor platform established in each of these territories or institutions for the implementation of the approach. Platforms with their own pages are also created during SPIRAL training.
• Homogeneous groups of citizens created by multi-player platforms and training platforms.
• The criteria of well-being and ill-being of the different homogeneous groups, as well as the answers to the third question (what do you do or can you do for your well-being and the well-being of everyone?), and its variants, besides the complementary issues put in place in some platforms (question on future generations, and questions of projet CO-ACTE).
• The actions carried out as part of the process by each territory or collective actor participating in it;
• The results of participatory co-evaluations of actions and the process as a whole.
