Everybody is talking about Fecbook
Today I went to the beauty salon
and the assistant
nobody has invited me yet
because I don't have a computer
Susanna isn't in Facebook
she asked the "3 Kings" for a computer,
and it has arrived at last
Up until now Susanna knew everything that went on in the village
but now she's out of touch!
Copons only has 300 inhabitants
& doesn't have mobile cover, but it does have
a councillor of new technology.
The Council has been able
to get the neighbours interested in municipal politics
hrough a page on Facebook which
it began in September 2008
opening up topics for debate
What has a webpage and Facebook page open to everybody
meant to Copons?
The idea is that the user or citizen
participates in the management of the
administration & the politicians,
us in this case, are obliged to be accountable
for the decisions we take & in this way
the citizen has very direct contact with us
& we have to give answers about the decisions we take
The entrance is down there...aaah, ok
...morning...hello...
It seems as if the people are pretty active?
They are very active. There is a large group
who are very active and then
a group of people who find it more difficult and are getting into it
little by little...and people who just look for info.
is that it will spread.
Does it create opposition?
It helps us govern and it creates opposition.
Because here you don't have an opposition party, do you?
No, there is no opposition party here.
More than 100 neighbours consult & debate what happens on Facebook
from their homes or from La Barraca, the only cafe in the village
They want to make it easy for everyone to have access. And it is getting results
Sometimes we connect as well
to see what they are saying...what's happening in the village
to understand the village a little
Tonight there is a council meeting, the 2nd
which will be live on the Copons website
but what's new will be the interaction
Many neighbours, like Gisela, can follow the meeting online
from home. And they can give their opinion.
But to see the meeting? Yes in Copons 2.0
They're getting ready...
t's fantastic because the public are
checking if they can see or not
and they are answering...yes I can see
us too... there's 6 of us in front
of the computer...Let's go?
Look there are 10 people connected to the live broadcast.
Come on, let's get on with the meeting. We'll begin with point no.1
which is the approval of the minutes from the last meeting...
Today thanks to the Wall, the space in Facebook
or with the chat on the Copons webpage, the villagers can
participate at the end of the session, in the questions
& be answered immediately...
If any of the people watching online want to ask a question
then, we will answer them
Gisela asks if we can confirm if there is date fixed for
the work in the square
A date hasn't been fixed yet...
