VoicE
(VoicE)
The project VoicE was designed as a citizen-driven trial project for the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg in Germany and for the Valencia region in Spain, assessing the feasibility of a regional and issue-specific approach towards eParticipation in the EU. VoicE established the award-wining platform GOV2DEMOSS with the objective to promote the dialogue between citizens from European regions and policy makers from the European parliament, the Assembly of Regions, other EU institutions as well as regional assemblies - by means of innovatice ICT. In terms of contents, the project focused on the policy field of consumer protection in the EU.
The project targeted at the following legislative processes:
- the legislation proposal information stage
- the debate on draft legislation
Funding
This project was co-funded by the EC within the eParticipation Preparatory Action
