Procomum is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing climate justice, democracy, and care as the foundations for building a shared world. It promotes citizen leadership through a territorial and community-based approach, supporting spaces for experimentation and collective action that strengthen community autonomy in the pursuit of more just, inclusive, and regenerative societies.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\t
\n\t\t

The Institute operates two community-based labs dedicated to strengthening networks in Santos (SP) and Bras\u00edlia (DF). These physical spaces and projects serve as open infrastructures for knowledge production, experimentation, and the promotion of community engagement, autonomy, and leadership through methodologies that embrace diversity and foster connections, with care as the central focus of both practical and political action.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\t
\n\t\t

Strengthen citizen participation and political co-production through collaborative spaces and methodologies that promote collective action, the common good, and well-being, generating shared solutions to contemporary problems.<\/p>\n

This mission is carried out through territorial, relational, and political action, which recognizes that today\u2019s challenges demand collective responses, built together with people and rooted in their life contexts, knowledge, and dreams. Local action\u2014understanding the territory as a network of practices, experiences, and social technologies that sustain the commons\u2014expands into global advocacy, through a coalition for citizen-led innovation in partnership with countries of the Global South.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>

as a fundamental political practice and as a prerequisite for building futures guided by the principle of good living. Here, the common good translates into a central guiding principle for reorganizing social coexistence. It is an arrangement and a process through which the management and organization of resources by a community or by society as a whole are ensured.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Citizen Innovation is the co-creation of solutions to collective problems, led by those who experience them and characterized by experimentation, care, and a focus on the common good. This innovation is not organized according to the exclusivity and competition typical of the market, but rather through collaboration, openness, and creative co-creation. It is a technology that emerges from communities organized around the common good, such as suburbs, traditional communities, and neighborhood associations.<\/p>\n

To learn more about citizen innovation, explore the methodologies MARAL – Metodologia de Ativa\u00e7\u00e3o e Redes Locais<\/a><\/span> and the CLIC \u2013 Colaborat\u00f3rio de Inova\u00e7\u00e3o Cidad\u00e3 para o Desenvolvimento Social<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening networks is a central pillar of Procomum\u2019s work. Through mapping, mobilizing contributors, and fostering connections among individuals, collectives, and organizations, the Institute strengthens the social fabric, expands channels of exchange, and bolsters existing initiatives, recognizing that social transformation is built on the creation of lasting alliances and sustained collective action. The methodology also ensures that the structure of these networks is based on protocols, shared knowledge, and systematized care practices, with the potential to influence public policies and institutional processes both locally and across the Global South.<\/p>\n

Making care visible\u2014recognizing it, distributing it, and practicing it\u2014is a strategy of Procomum, which views care as the foundation of the social, political, and institutional relationships that sustain life.The technology of care manifests itself in various ways in Procomum\u2019s approach, such as in the creation of gatherings that prioritize the time, motivation, and mental health of everyone involved; in the provision of grants that enable people to commit to and dedicate themselves to opportunities for social participation; and in the celebration of care as a narrative of empowerment.<\/p>\n
