    Description
    Description
    Public engagement process via digital platform will be used to enhance knowledge, involvement, and action regarding topics related to the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Futureye is open and engaging with any group that wants to deepen awareness of sustainable development goals and motivate community action or better policy decisions. The platform www.wikicurve.org is now up and partnerships are being sought to use it at a community level.
    Implementation of the Project/Activity

    WikiCurve happens in real-time with each issue growing and developing as the community gets involved. For some issues, there will be hundreds of individual events which have influenced community attitudes.As an issue matures and interest around it grows, it moves through six stages. The movement in public sentiment can take months, years or even centuries.To participate in WikiCurve, you register (you can use your Facebook or Twitter account, for convenience) and then explore the timeline for an issue that interests you horizontally or with the WikiCurve view.Where an event catches your attention, you can drill into the details and vote on how you think the event influenced the development of the issue. You can add extra information, new sources and ideas.When you vote on an event, you can see how your opinion compares with everyone who has also voted on that event.If there was an important event that isn’t on the timeline, you can add it yourself.WikiCurve puts each event on the curve based on all of the votes from the WikiCurve community. You can click to see the curve, which will tell you which stage the issue is in at the moment and how fast it seems to be moving.

    Capacity

    Training and capacity building will be done for communities that are interested in the process.

    Governed

    The community engagement process will be governed by Futureye, in collaboration with the stakeholders in light of the specific objectives they set.

    Evaluation

    In an engagement process undertaken nationally with the tool we had 2 million people see it and 30,000 engage with it to be involved.
