Preparatory Meeting: outh e-participation matters – Transferring local youth participation in decision-making processes to the digital sphere On the 15th and 16th of July, DYPALL Network participated in a preparatory meeting in the European Youth Centre of the Council of Europe. The purpose of the meeting was to plan detail the programme and the general flow of our upcoming Study Session “Youth e-participation matters – Transferring local youth participation in decision-making processes to the digital sphere.” The Study Session is organised by the DYPALL Network in cooperation with the Youth Department of the Council of Europe with the support of the excellent preparatory team: Anastasiia Petrova (Ukraine), Sara Bottesin (Italy), David Cardoso (Portugal), Gianluca Rossino (Italy), Mateusz Hoffmann (Poland) and an experienced educational advisor Laszlo Foldi (Hungary). The study session will take place between the 11th and 15th of October 2021 in the European Youth Centre in Strasbourg (France). This activity is a direct follow-up to our last year’s study session “W(e-)participate – Harnessing Digital Innovation for Youth Participation at the Local Level”. The report from that study session is available here. DYPALL Network believes, that innovation such as youth e-participation can make youth participation more efficient, inclusive and impactful. More about our perspective and some interesting examples is to be found in the materials from our webinar: To the point on youth e-participation.
