The three live mechanisms

Programs DirectoryReal public programs in plain language, from Service Civique to the FDVA — plus locally published ones.
Public ConsultationsA collectivité asks; residents answer once each; a public restitution closes the loop.
La Boîte à IdéesCitizens propose improvements from commune to nation; authorities answer on the record.All governance modules

Communes and public bodies license the governance workspace under public procurement: consultations, restitutions, dashboards over aggregated needs. Residents never pay to participate — that principle is in the charter and in the code.
From need to response
From Need to ResponseA signalled need becomes a campaign, a submission, an answer. Film connected at staging.
How LaSocialOffline connects this
Everything on the platform feeds everything else: experiences fill Cercles, Cercles carry campaigns, campaigns reach authorities, authorities publish programs, and programs fund the next experience.
