Time Bank

Do you have an idea that is still in its early stages and want to connect with a community to promote it in your city? Do you have an ongoing project and want to move to a new phase but need help? Don't have a project but have time to help others?
The Time Bank provides a workspace with tools to develop your project through collaboration with a community of innovators.
In the South we find many people who are doers, and lots that are thinkers. For reasons of time, life, or other reasons, it often happens that these people are not connected. That is why CILA comes to solve this problem: we provide a space to promote collaboration between all these actors in the ecosystem in order to enhance their projects.

Innovation Ecosystem Newsletter

Do you want to keep up to date on the month's agenda, innovative city initiatives, news and recommendations?
In the Newsletter you will find:
Get inspired by the innovation experiences of other cities in the Global South.
Find out what is happening in the Global South regarding democratic governance.
Discover cultural recommendations such as podcasts, books and movies that share CILA's vision.
Learn what CILA is doing to strengthen its advocacy in the region.

Collaborative Agenda

Are you developing an event in your city and want to promote it? Do you want to participate in events that encourage innovation, diversity and sustainability in the cities of the South but don't know where to find them?
Get to know CILA's collaborative agenda, a space for visibility and divulgation of the events that the members of the CILA Community are carrying out. Here you can share events that you are developing, as well as learn about events taking place in your city and the rest of the cities of the Global South.

Workshops and
Learning Spaces

Do you want to train in particular topics or tools, are you developing a course that you think may be of interest to the CILA Community?
In CILA's training and capacity building space you will be able to:
Receive notifications about courses and training spaces that the CILA community is developing.
Provide scholarships for members of the CILA Community to be part of the courses that your organization is developing.
Look for a technical profile to present in your course.
Develop a training process for your organization together with CILA.

Repository of Useful Resources

Do you want to develop a participatory dynamic in your city and do not know how? Do you want to generate visibility of useful tools that your organization has developed?
Innovating in cities can be tedious and finding the right methodology or tool can take a long process. That's why CILA brings you a repository of Useful Resources to help you think outside the box.
Useful resources are innovative tools, methodologies and programs that community members created to strengthen democracies in the Global South.

Collective Intelligence
meetings

Would you like to participate in exchange spaces with political and social leaders from southern cities? Would you like to learn how other cities have found solutions to the challenges you face?
The Collective Intelligence dialogues are spaces for exchange so that members of the Community can share experiences, listen to success stories and learn about other ways of innovating in the cities of the Global South.
These spaces will be developed according to the needs and interests expressed by the community itself and promoted by the consortium. We seek to generate a virtuous circle with the knowledge management of the members, as well as to develop the space in an open and collaborative manner.

From CILA we seek to develop a Community of Cities of the Global South, where civil society organizations, local governments, the private sector and international cooperation agencies come together to create and think of solutions to the challenges of cities.

That’s why we need you!

Spread the CILA spirit and help us to empower this community of local innovators from the Global South.
