| From 16 to 18 March 2009, the Council of Europe’s Directorate of Youth and Sport organised a seminar on “New ways of participation based on Information and Communication Technologies” in Strasbourg. During the seminar, 48 youth researchers, policy-makers, youth organisations and young people discussed the new trends in youth participation based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), through a constructive exchange of information and practices amongst the main stakeholders in the field of youth participation. The final documentation of the seminar is now available in the library of the EKCYP (European Knowledge Centre on Youth Policy). |

| The seminar “New ways of participation” was organised by the Directorate of Youth and Sport in March 2009. It allowed youth researchers, policy-makers, youth organisations and young people practising new ways of participation based on Information and Communication Technologies (“ e-participation”) to explore this issue together. All 48 participants had a practical experience in “e-participation”.The main results of the seminar were the following: • The seminar succeeded to provide a theoretical insight into the concept of e-participation in all its dimensions to all participants. • The seminar also gave space to all participants for exchanging their good practices on e-participation. • Last but not least, the participants produced concrete recommendations which can be used by the different stakeholders, in particular in relation to the implementation of the declaration on “The future of the Council of Europe youth policy: Agenda 2020” (adopted by the youth ministers of the Council of Europe in October 2008). • Besides the participants’ wish to implement their own follow-up activities, a strong request for an official Council of Europe’s action to further build on the foundations of this seminar was made by the participants. The main features of the seminar (theoretical input, good practices, recommendations) are documented in the final report, which is now available on the European Knowledge Centre on Youth Policy (see link below).http://youth-partnership.coe.int/youth-partnership/documents/EKCYP/Youth_Policy/docs/Citizenship/seminar_NWP09_final_documentation_10062009.pdf |
