Engaging youth through deliberative e-participation: a case study
by Noella Edelmann, Robert Krimmer, Peter Parycek
International Journal of Electronic Governance (IJEG), Vol. 1, No. 4, 2008

Abstract: The Austrian e-participation project ''mitmachen.at – move your future'', looked at young people involved in an online public discussion. Results from this case study show that there is interest in online deliberation and is a method of participation which is both accepted and will be used by young people. The participants expressed optimism: they want this form of participation to be made possible and results to be made available to politicians. Their criticism and feedback must be used both to improve the services offered and motivate citizens to take an interest in political and civic issues.
