SOCIAL MANAGEMENT AND DELIBERATIVE CITIZENSHIP IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIRG FOUNDATION

Abstract

Social management is a field in constant development, since the study is carried out through the internalization movement, mainly through Social Management Studies Programs, where the concept of deliberative citizenship is associated with social management. These concepts are related insofar as deliberative citizenship is understood as consultative politics, in which the individual must participate in a democratic procedure, with political and decision-making parity, actively collaborating in the destiny of the community to which they belong. The knowledge produced in the field of social management stems from inductive processes of participatory, horizontal, dialogical and democratic management practices that can be developed in different types of organization. The importance of councils lies in their role in strengthening the democratic participation of the population in the formulation and implementation of public policies, as well as expanding the knowledge produced in the field of social management. In this context of participation and decision-making, councils are an environment that provides for community discussion. The Board of Trustees, which is part of the organic structure of the UNIRG Foundation, has ensured the participation of representatives from the most varied sectors of public power and civil society, making it possible for there to be a transversal space, where popular participation is possible and truly effective, democratic.
