e-Participation, or the use of ICT to broaden and deepen political
participation
by enabling citizens to connect with one another and with their elected
representatives, is a concept that is much more difficult to implement than it
is to understand. With the development of the TID+ project, citizens and
officials are handed a tool that is based on seven years of practical
experience.
The main result of TID+, a project part-financed by the European Union, is a
FOSS software tool that that can be used to organise citizen-driven
e-participation.
We will tell you more about the project and we'll provide a short
demonstration.
There will be ample opportunity for you to ask questions and enter into
discussion.
The webinar will be hosted from the European University Institute in Florence
using the GoToWebinar service. Audio will be Skypecasted. You can find all
background information considering the project and this webinar on
www.tidplus.net
The webinar is projected to last for 1 hour 30 minutes. To allow for technical
difficulties and for follow-up discussion, the webinar venue will be open
longer.
Please note that Skypecasting only works with a stable (non-beta) version of
Skype installed in a Windows environment.
