Description
‚OurSpace – The Virtual Youth Space’ is a European project that aims to provide an e-participation platform for young people in order to discuss their issues and to connect young citizens with decision makers. The platform allows young citizens from Austria, Czech Republic, Greece and the United Kingdom to connect with peers and discuss European and national issues. The consortium consists of 9 partners from 7 countries. Danube University Krems leads the main work package: pilot operation and evaluation. Consequently, the Centre for E-Governance coordinates e-participation processes and engagement strategies and evaluates the project. An evaluation framework that combines several methods was developed so that concrete results can be derived from the pilot project. Project website: http://www.ep-ourspace.eu/
