A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (for example, first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in person or online, and finally prioritizing them) with the goal of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes: a process for electing committee members (where candidates are first nominated, then debated, and finally one candidate is selected), participatory budgeting (where proposals are submitted, evaluated from a financial perspective, and voted on based on available funds), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or standard, the design of an urban space, or the development of a public policy plan.

Held annually in two neighborhoods in Lausanne, the Caravane des quartiers features concerts, workshops, brunches, performances, and many other activities.
Organized by and for the neighborhood, events related to the caravan aim to strengthen social cohesion, inclusion, and citizen participation. Each year, this process highlights local dynamics and encourages the promotion of emerging initiatives.
