Querida comunidad:

En California, ¿cómo se traduciría y qué significa una "charrette meeting" o "charette meeting"? En mi contexto, se trata de una reunión pública de ciudadanos sobre un tema de interés común.

Gracias de antemano por vuestros conocimientos.

Explanation:
Hola Val,
Aprendemos juntos.
Mira esta definición/explicación:

"Charrette" is a French word meaning "small cart or wheelbarrow." The term (as we use it here) originated at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts architectural school in 19th Century Paris. There, teams of students were given challenging design problems to creatively solve under the pressure of time. The intense team work continued right up to the time when a cart or "charrette" was used to carry the students' competition submissions from the studio to the rooms where the reviews would take place. Today we use the term "charrette" for an intense design session in which a team concentrates on a particular problem and proposes solutions. It is an active approach that involves "learning by doing." The charrette model is frequently used in the design professions as a means for applying theory and concept to a real problem. These sessions tend to gather energy, excitement and ideas (from Dover, Kohl & Partners, South Miami, FL http://www.doverkohl.com). ..."

The sponsoring group usually sets the goals and time limit and prepares materials for the session. The charrette has a facilitator or leader whose responsibility is to bring out all points of view from participants.

The components of a typical charrette include:
definition of objectives or issues to be resolved; 
analysis of the problem and alternative approaches to solutions; 
assignment of small groups to clarify issues; 
use of staff people to find supporting data; 
development of proposals to respond to issues; 
development of alternative solutions; 
presentation and analysis of final proposal(s); and 
consensus and final resolution of the approach to be taken.

***A charrette is oriented toward problem solving.*** The breadth of background of participants should assure full discussion of issues, interrelationships, and impacts. Its time limits challenge people to examine the problem rapidly, openly, and honestly and help potential adversaries reach consensus on an appropriate solution. A charrette produces visible results. It is often used early in a planning process to provide useful ideas and perspectives from concerned interest groups. In mid-process, a charrette helps resolve sticky issues. Late in the process, it is useful to resolve an impasse between groups.

The charrette leader should be familiar with group dynamics and the substantive issues the group faces. The leader tailors the setting, background materials, and issues to the goal of the charrette and elicits participation from all group members within the allotted time. To avoid chaos in a charrette, a high level of discipline is required.

A minimum of four hours is essential for a charrette focused on a modest problem. While the average ranges from one to several days, some agencies hold one- and two-week charrettes or organize them as multiple sessions over a period of time. ...\"
