Documents/EePSR/2: eParticipation of Citizens in European Public Policy/7: Cooperation

7: Cooperation

Cooperate with other public, private and civil actors to support the European public space

Other Information:

It is not possible for the EU institutions to create a European public space in isolation. A large number of non-EU and non-government institutions are successfully exploiting eParticipation, including the private sector, many civil sector organisations like NGOs, as well as traditional media players. The EU institutions should, much more than at present, partner with and learn from these organisations where it makes sense to do so. Go to where citizens already are, including social networking sites, media, civil society organisations, including engaging younger people. Ensure linkage to local, regional and national contexts.
