Great to be in #Brussels for the @ecas_europe Digital Democracy Day, Among the more technical ideas is a simple one - people need to develop more critical thinking skills when they respond to public consultations.
Join us as we kick off the first panel focusing on ECAS's 10-year journey in digital democracy. 🪄 Delve into global e-participation projects empowering citizens via digital platforms & learn how to tackle existing challenges, from the digital gap to security issues.

We did something to improve national security : acep.org.uk/think/
In my new essay published by @IWM_Vienna I'm exploring the idea that citizen deliberation is a matter of national security. Especially in CEE, where Russia exploits the flaws of the current democratic system and people’s feelings of disillusionment. iwm.at/publication/iwmpost-a…
