Utilization of crowdsourcing in decision-making in Europe.
- To empower European citizens to participate in the commons through crowdsourcing processes.
- To increase knowledge about good crowdsourcing practices.
The majority of European citizens don’t know how or don’t see why they have to participate in the process of decision-making that is relevant to their country or the European Union. The results?
- Lack of citizen information.
- Alienation from EU’s ideas and goals.
- Generalized discomfort and creation of tensions between the citizens of the Member States.
- Indifference about the future of the country and EU in general.
- Indifference about the making of decisions that affect all of us.
Utilization of crowdsourcing in decision-making in Europe.
- Over 430 participants in 8 events (mostly young European citizens and EU decision-makers). Thousands of citizens were informed about the results.
