Youth eParticipation Projects

In the framework of the research and innovation project EUth, the European Youth and Counselling Agency (ERYICA), has launched a Call for Youth eParticipation Projects!

The idea is to support 10 project proposals with 10.000 € each to implement youth eParticipation projects using the digital toolbox “OPIN”.

Projects should build a bridge between young people and decision-makers with the help of “OPIN”. There are very diverse possibilities and options to initiate eParticipation projects with both online and offline components.
For instance: a local council acquires land to create a recreational space for young people. Instead of deciding behind closed doors, the council initiates a participation process to involve young people in the idea collection and decision-making processes. “OPIN”s tools “idea collection” and “mobile polling” would facilitate this. A different example could be a youth organisation with a large network of members, who want to prepare a position paper or a working plan. “OPIN”s feature “collaborative text work” would render it possible that members from different areas can work together on the same platform and vote on each paragraph.

Applications should be in English and submitted electronically by 31 December 2016, 12:00 CET.
