DDcamp

Digital Democracy Camp - Empowering 21st Century Communities

Our World is changing and so are our means of communication.

How do social media tools change the way we participate in democratic systems? This barcamp gathers people focusing on this and similar questions. We will look at social media platforms and other internet technologies, their meaning in our societies and most importantly their significance towards our everyday work. How can we use the Internet for the realisation of our creativity, ideas, interests and dreams? What does the Internet offer for our organisations? Which tools can we learn to promote our projects?

We have invited participants from 15 countries including regions such as the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the Caucasus among others. They join us in Vienna for a seminar focusing on new tools that have the potential to fundamentally change the way we participate in democratic processes (localdemocracy.eu). We are part of a new paradigm and it's up to us to influence the course.
