CREATING PUBLIC VALUE THROUGH ePARTICIPATION: WAVE PROJECT

نویسنده

  • Rimantas Gatautis
چکیده

The task of eParticipation is to empower people to be able through Information and Communication Technology to act in bottom-up decision making processes, thus allowing politicians to make informed decisions, while developing social and political responsibility. WAVE project deploys Debategraph (www.debategraph.org), an innovative argument visualization platform, in a multi-lingual, cross border context. WAVE uses the Debategraph platform which is currently provided free of charge for any citizen, government, NGO, business and university. The tool aims to impact the outcomes of the European level legislative package on climate change by fostering national level dialogue and debate amongst decision makers, citizens and special interest groups and, secondly, aims to have an impact on the opinions of representatives by feeding the results of this dialogue back to national and European level politicians.
