How to get more youngsters actively involved in political decision-making? In the past two years the European innovation project EUth intensively engaged the field of youth eParticipation and developed the unprecedented digital participation toolbox OPIN, which is adapted to the needs of young people and supports the setup of participation projects. On the 7th and 8th of December, the project partners will present their results and the final version of the platform at the Open Summit in Berlin.

By bringing the public, non-profit and private sectors together, new synergies, knowledge and partnerships will be built. Besides the presentation of the project’s results and the final OPIN version, the Open Summit will also be a forum for future partnerships, networking and best-practice exchange to work towards a bright future of youth eParticipation. During the Open Summit participants will be involved in discussions around the questions: How to enable more eParticipation? What can youth participation learn from citizen participation? How to embed new communication channels in (old) decision-making structures? How to combine online and offline methods? Participants will elaborate recommendations for the development of digital participation.

Additionally, a barcamp about the practice of youth eParticipation as well as a panel discussion with representatives from political, NGO and private sectors will take place. A cultural programme and the screening of documentary videos by the OPIN pilot projects will complete the agenda and offer time to network and share experience. The registration is now open. Invited to apply are stakeholders from NGOs, providers of participation counselling, researchers, representatives from the technological and private sectors as well as youth workers. Participants will need to cover their travel and accommodation costs.
