| Title: |
Seminar on New ways of participation based on Information and Communication Technology
|
| Description: |
Nowadays, new forms of participation are emerging which are challenging the well-established forms of participation. Recently, due to technological developments, young people have had many new opportunities to make their voices heard and participate in society in alternative ways (e.g. online fora, SMS actions, e-democracy, m-democracy). Institutions and organisations are trying to follow these trends, but in many cases these new participation opportunities are also not considered or recognised enough by decision-makers.
The seminar on “new ways of participation” organised by the Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe aims at addressing the new trends in youth participation based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), through a constructive exchange of information and practices amongst the main stakeholders in the field of youth participation. Therefore, this seminar will provide space and means for youth researchers, policy makers, youth organisations and young people practising new ways of participation based on Information and Communication Technologies (“e-participation”) to explore this issue together.
The expected outcome of the seminar is to define and explore these new ways of participation. Moreover, the seminar will try to develop recommendations and strategies on how to create synergies between young people practising Information and Communication Technologies based participation and current European youth work, going hand in hand with the future vision and priorities stated in the Agenda 2020.
