General

Assemblies in Decidim are organized groups or bodies that work on a specific topic, mission, or area of interest. They are usually more stable and long-term than a simple consultation or participatory process.

An assembly can represent a council, committee, working group, advisory body, community team, or another organized group of people who come together to discuss issues, share ideas, make proposals, and contribute to decisions.

Assemblies are useful when a platform wants to create a more structured and ongoing form of participation around a theme, a project, a community, or a public issue.

Within an assembly, different participation tools can be used, such as meetings, proposals, debates, surveys, pages, and updates, depending on how the platform is organized.
