12: Participatory, Digital and Political Literacy

Actively support participatory, digital and political literacy

Other Information:

Ultimately, it is probably not possible to get around the problem of „elites‟ which can dominate discourse and the political sphere given that this has always been the case historically. The introduction of ICT will not change this, although this study has shown that, if the technology is applied with care, it may in some cases mitigate the problem. It is also important to strongly support the participatory, digital and political literacy of those currently excluded. Encourage, design and support skills acquisition and education/training in participatory, digital and political literacy. Ensure ICT channels complement non-ICT channels and invest in new interfaces which are more intuitive and better embedded in everyday activities. Support the emergence of self-organising mechanisms in particular where they support key European values and goals Build upon what is already happening, such as the CIPAST training package for participation.
