Great to be in #Brussels for the @ecas_europe Digital Democracy Day, Among the more technical ideas is a simple one - people need to develop more critical thinking skills when they respond to public consultations.
Join us as we kick off the first panel focusing on ECAS's 10-year journey in digital democracy. 🪄 Delve into global e-participation projects empowering citizens via digital platforms & learn how to tackle existing challenges, from the digital gap to security issues.
