OPIN: Letting young people have a say

European innovation project EUth launches digital toolbox for youth eParticipation.

OPIN is dedicated to youth organisations and public administrations of any size and level, which aim at setting up professional, attractive and successful participation processes - even without having prior experience. Among the current features of the evolving toolbox are three main youth-friendly eParticipation processes: “idea collection” and “collaborative text work” are based on the software Adhocracy, whereas “mobile polling” is integrated via the App FlashPoll. “Idea collection” helps consulting youth during agenda-setting or open topic research, “collaborative text work” enables to collectively draft proposals or position papers as well as comment and vote on them. “Mobile polling” facilitates fast decision-making and voting within a certain geo-location and particularly suits the mobile-centred Internet usage of digital natives.
