High-level outline for upcoming Zilino online dialogue event on mental health connecting students, teachers and staff from colleges and universities across the United States.
Participatory budgeting (PB) is quickly becoming a hot trend here in the US. PB sits right at the intersection of civic engagement, open government and technology. In short, it’s the perfect topic for SXSW.
Tiago Peixoto (World Bank), Marti Brown (City of Vallejo, CA) and myself hope to spread the word about this innovative process at next year's SXSW in Austin, TX to a broad audience of technology and civic innovators.

A lot of web 2.0 tools are available today that can be useful for web-based public participation. However, these tools were not designed specifically for the purpose of public participation and may lack critical features and necessary process support which can often cause issues. Addressing these issues would not always require changing the technology. Good facilitation and a commitment to impact will go a long way.
