What if you could help decide how the government spends public funds?
Summary 

In your community, only the government must decide how to spend public funds, though, it couldn’t solve real problems close to your home. The speaker suggests the idea that is called participatory budgeting. It means a process that brings local residents, especially young people, and governments together to develop concrete solutions to real problems close to home.  

It brought young people from marginalized areas, allocated computers for high school students to increase technology access,  it also allocated money to renovating parks more accessible for all people of all bodies. The actions of young people reduced corruption and increased trust in governments. It must lead to changing democracy that is almost breaking. To participate must change old systems.
