Public participation

Public participation is when people join together to express their opinions or to influence decisions about something important. It means that the people who will be affected by the decision get to share their thoughts and feelings about it. They are given a chance to make sure the decision makers understand their point of view. This helps to make sure that the decision is fair, and it also lets everyone have a voice in the process. So, people coming together to make decisions can help to make sure that everyone is treated fairly.
