Title: People’s Corner, Raising Local Governance through People's Voice
Summary
People’s Corner is a pilot project focused on empowering the common citizen, providing digital tools to allow the expression of needs and opinions, reinforce their civic role and participation with solutions in an info-inclusive way in local communities using several field activities that will gradually raise the voice of local citizens to its public institutions, improve the quality of information that reaches out political decision-makers through the support of already implemented IT knowledge based platforms or tools.The concept of People’s Corner derives from the Speakers’ Corner concept where anyone and everyone can express their opinions and debate with others their positions on government, religion, traditions, culture or any other subject of vital interest to their purpose in life since 1885 in England.This will be started with local democracy lab ativations, then to more generic public consultations and forums that will define a set of public causes, where themes and needs assessment priorities are polled democratically and will lead to information sessions and events to local populations of 5 different countries to exchange outlooks and share a sense of European democracy and future civic participation, with analysis, public discussions and local engagement about the EU role, involvement and achievements in their daily life. We will apply several methodologies, tools and techniques to facilitate the compreehension of the citizen’s role in local communities and how they can participate in a legitimate way, remembering also their local history and their sense of European belonging and the impact of local, national and European policies.Some themes will be included transversally to all partners’ activities through public consultation like Understanding and Debating Euroscepticism, Solidarity in times of crisis or Combatting stigmatisation of "immigrants" and building counter narratives to foster intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding.
