The study aims to analyze the relationship between multi-door justice, appropriate conflict resolution methods, and participatory democracy. The central issue lies in investigating the role of the current dispute resolution model in strengthening democratic participation. To achieve this purpose, a logical-deductive method was adopted, along with the analysis of precedents arising from bibliographic and documentary research. As a main contribution, the study highlights that democratic participation, an essential characteristic of contemporary democracies, develops gradually in practice, significantly influenced by previous experiences acquired in the context of conflict resolution and procedural systems. In conclusion, it is determined that multi-door justice plays a fundamental role in promoting democracy and active citizenship, transcending the limits of litigation. By expanding dialogue spaces, the dialogical model not only rescues and encourages citizen participation but also educates and prepares individuals to exercise active citizenship in the public sphere in a more conscious and engaged manner.
