SUMMARY:Online Keynote by Vadim Georgienko
DESCRIPTION:Online Keynote: From Participatory Procedures to Participatory Power: The Citizen Token System as Governance Protocol.\nBy Vadim Georgienko \nSocial entrepreneur\, Creator of the Citizen Token System (CTS). \nVadym Georgienko is a social entrepreneur and civic systems architect working at the intersection of governance\, technology\, and community development. He focuses on designing innovative participatory frameworks and mechanisms based on his multi-year experience across municipal government\, national policy\, civil society\, business\, and IT. One of his earlier major international recognitions came from the Council of Europe in 2007 for best practices in youth participation and good governance among 47 countries.   \nSince 2021\, he leads CTS Partnership Network\, piloting the Citizen Token System in Ukrainian communities under wartime conditions\, where it has generated measurable gains in public value through self-sustaining civic cycles. He mentors local implementation teams and works with international partners exploring how contribution-based governance can be applied and adapted across different domains. \nThe Citizen Token System (CTS) addresses a fundamental gap in participatory design: the difference between consultation procedures and actual decision-making power. Developed and tested in Ukrainian communities during wartime (2022-2025)\, CTS demonstrates how token-based governance protocols can achieve 40× efficiency multipliers in public value generation while transferring real budgetary control to residents. This case examines what happens when participation is backed by genuine power and intrinsic motivation and what this might suggest about how participatory approaches could evolve beyond procedural forms toward more transformative\, power-sharing practices.
