OurSpace

OurSpace will be based on the concept that the active involvement of young people in the process of sociopolitical decision‐making can play a very important role in our societies. To this end, OurSpace, aims to contribute towards bringing the EU closer to the youth by improving their role within the democratic system of the EC through the use of ICT. In this aspect, the proposed project aims to create a unique online collaboration space designed to actively engage young European citizens in the molding of their future society.OurSpace will be tailored entirely to the needs of the young European citizens. It will provide a common Social Networking space to support the active participation and real‐time collaboration among the European youngsters. The web based platform will include different national and cross‐national thematic clusters and the services to be offered include typical social networking features as well as typical eParticipation features, including also the necessary content and informative material. During the project, 3 pilot sites will be deployed at national level, whereas a pan-European pilot will also be there, directly fed by the national pilots, for leveraging important issues to a pan-European dimension, seeking broader participation from youngsters.
