At a glance
New technologies, and especially social media, facilitate democratization by empowering citizens to express themselves directly towards policymakers, and by giving room to new forms and means of expression. All this makes democracy more representative and participatory. However, it also has more negative aspects, as demonstrated by the rise of fake news and disinformation.
The project offers a collective space for policy makers and citizens, from 15 countries, to organise international events and other activities to stimulate democratic and civic participation across Europe, and to support democratic Union in the digital era.
Objectives
The project priority is to debate the future of Europe and challenging Euroscepticism. The main objective of this project is to provide European local and regional policymakers and citizens with tools to support civic participation in a digital culture era.
