The project was born as a joint initiative between the Future Worlds Center, and the Digital Futures of the European Commission and it is a part of the activities carried out under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency. The two-day event will be organized as an interactive co-laboratory, fully utilizing up-to-date methodologies and technologies of the science of structured democratic dialogue. The co-laboratory took place back-to-back with the Cyprus EU Youth Conference (Cyprus Presidency event). This builds on the priority of the Cypriot Presidency to address the topic of Youth Participation in democrtic life in Europe as a main priority of the trio PL-DK-CY, adopted by the ministers' meeting in the Council of Education, Youth, Culture and Sport.
