PRELIMINARY STATEMENT.

This "portal of participation" is inspired by the general government policy principles of the Municipality of Marghera and in particular by the institutive process of the new Delegations of Zone. The program is set in continuity with the distance of increase of the local institution, where maximum attention will be paid to the peculiar value of the Municipality of Marghera: the Participation. Joined to fundamental Political and Organizational functions, the Participation gives life to the so-called "POP” model, that is translated in a concrete program of 34 aims, finalized to the development of a system of government set up on the quality principles. The model heads to optimize and to integrate functions "POP" in an optical of continuous and dynamic improvement between the Municipal level and the Communal one.

In its initial stage, the constitution of the Delegations of Zone has taken advantage of the support of European Plan LHASA, that aimed at the territorial development of the quality of life and at the realization of social inclusion, through distances of formation and encounter between the various social bands of the citizenship.

The participation, in Marghera, is intended to be a priority in order to assure nearness and proximity to all the citizens (both residents and those who are permanently living in the territory for study, work or for other reasons). The participation is intended to be a live and communitarian one in the optical of the subsidisation, conceiving the praxis of the delegation like ability to give responsible and effective answers, but also ability to analyze needs and organize them to realize a programme participated with a sustainability criteria, so as to optimize times and resources available. On such fundamental value the Municipality of Marghera confirms the investment on the institution, which is born and grown out by the strong territorial request of participation. The local political class has thrown itself in this process with responsibility and has taken the opportunities given by the progressive reform of the Common Decentralization of Venice, which begun in 70’s.

The "portal of participation" will be a “laboratory” and a place of encounter of all the experiences made until now and experiences, which will be realized in future. A container in which to find ready made jobs, results of the territorial researches, occasions for encounters and comparison between citizens, the idea of pushing for development of a particular territory, made of thousands of different realities, thousands of various spirits, who want, but not only, a truly sustainable city.

THE LOGO

The symbol of the participation is made up of a heart with a “é (is)” inside that represents the being of a person, extendible also to whichever material and immaterial thing. Over the heart the word “Marghera”, that has been designed on inspiration of the Catalan artist Mirò. The development of this "idea heart" is characterized by many various shadings of city and productive colour that emphasize the various spirits of the city. What happened in Barcelona, where the actual reconverting and regeneration seems to be guided from the passion for the art and the shapes of Gaudì and Mirò, is our inspiration model.

THE MADE JOB

The Delegations of Zone were created in January 2006. They are made of 245 volunteers, who have joined the Municipality to create work groups who know the territory perfectly well, and have to analyze the peculiar aspects, problems, and the transformations that happened in the time and the priorities that will be made in the near future in order to improve the quality of life. From the first page of every section dedicated to the single Delegations of Zone one can access the tables that have been realized at the end of a research and exposed as first step on the way that will bring the citizens closer to the institutions than before.

AGENDA

From the first page of the single Delegations of Zone one accesses a section in continuous up date. Here is the agenda of the activity of the Delegations: territorial appointments, public encounters, and the most important assemblies. In the future there will be a section dedicated to the press (local, national and international), with articles about Marghera. An attempt will be made, to give Marghera a proper image that needs more attention, from those who live and work in this town. The Delegations of Zone are already headed in this direction.
