Output 1.1: 5 Regional Co-Laboratories of Democracy held with a total of 100 participants | '''Output 1.1: 5 Regional Co-Laboratories of Democracy held with a total of 100 participants''' | ||
The Future Worlds Center intends to conduct a total of 5 Co-Laboratories throughout the project, each lasting 5 full working days, and taking place in different continents. The major product of each Co-Laboratory will be a detailed virtual report with all ideas, clarifications, processes, and final results documented in great detail. | |||
Output 1.3: 13 Regional Webinars on Participatory Democracy held | '''Output 1.2: At least 1000 ‘Shadow Participants’ to Co-Laboratories recruited''' | ||
Before attending a Co-Laboratory, each participant is asked to identify and recruit additional 10 ‘shadow participants’. This will significantly enlarge the total number of participants and increase the validation of the results during each Co-Laboratory. Since participants themselves will represent a diverse mix of ethnic and social backgrounds, so will the additional participants, as they are likely to be identified within the socio-economic environment of each participant. Participants will however be asked to try and identify representatives of different youth organizations or active youth/ civil society groups. By recruiting 10 shadow participants each, the total number of young people involved per Co-Laboratory will reach 200. The shadow participants will contribute through virtual means, through the website, the IdeaPrism™ or email, depending on the particular circumstances. In addition, however, the virtual participants will also be in charge to reflect on the proceedings and also “broadcast” the progress of the project using their respective channels, i.e., via email, Twitter™, Facebook™, Blogs, YouTube™ movies, etc. | |||
'''Output 1.3: 13 Regional Webinars on Participatory Democracy held''' | |||
A number of regional webinars will be held in the framework of the project and after the Co-Labs being held. The first webinar will aim at introducing participants to the project and the concept of participatory democracy and will address issues on media literacy. The following webinars will focus on increasing interaction among the participants and will work as platforms for exchanging ideas and work on country specific activities. In addition, the webinars will serve as a tool for discussing topics of interests and sharing success stories. Overall, the webinars will support participants to complete their follow up activities. Moreover, in these webinars participants will be invited to discuss the progress of their action plans. Thus, webinars will ensure interactive participation among the participants and smooth operation of the process. Due to the time frame, three Webinars with participants from Europe/ Africa/ the Americas, and two Webinars with participants from Asia/ the Arab States – in total 13 regional Webinars will be organized. | |||
'''Output 1.4: Two Global Webinars on Participatory Democracy held''' | |||
Global webinars on participatory democracy will be taking place during the implementation of the project. The webinars will ensure global coordination of the project outputs and will give participants the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas on topics of common interest. The global webinars will support and encourage communication among the participants in an effort to empower youth to actively participate in the democracy processes. The webinars will be organized using standard technologies (available to FWC) and the results uploaded to public cloud for open access. The first Global webinar will take place after the Co-Labs in Europe, Africa and the Americas (Q5) have been implemented and will invite participants from those regions. The final Global webinar will take place in the end of the project (Q8) and will include participants from all continents. | |||
