Youth E-participation helps to promote young people's active engagement in decision-making and policy-making processes, but it additionally serves to explore their needs before making a choice. Young people may use this tool to help define priorities, communicate and decide with decision makers, express their opinions in an open dialogue process, and recommend initiatives that might improve and promote young people's participation on a local or national level. Its purpose is to encourage the participation of young people in policy-making processes and to increase their trust in decision-making mechanisms. The project is strengthening resources of young people for e-participation in the democratic life and fostering their involvement in policy-making through digital strategies and digital tools. E-participation strengthens the collaboration between government and citizens by facilitating wider public participation, the analysis of large amounts of information collected from citizens, and two-way communication between government and citizens. However, despite increasing investment in ICT, the technology has not been fully utilized by governments to enhance e-participation. Overall objective of the project is the capacity of partner organisations and their members for e-participation in the democratic life and fostering their involvement in policy-making through digital strategies and digital tools.
