As part of the project, in two municipalities: Augustów and Wasilków we will carry out model participatory processes using the digital Citizenlab platform and direct activities with residents. As research shows (e.g. ‘Public participation. Report on the state of Polish cities’, 2020), public participation in medium and small towns is much less common than in large cities. Smaller municipalities lack diverse forms of consultation and communication with their inhabitants. And this is one of the most important indicators of democratic culture. Moreover, technological progress has changed the way we search for information, absorb it and share it with others. New tools and forms of communication are a challenge for local governments, because the traditional analogue tools of participation are no longer sufficient. In our project, we will implement the Citizenlab digital platform to facillitate communication between local governments of Wasilkowo and Augustów municipalities and the residents. We will launch an information and marketing campaign to promote the platform. We will also implement 6 participatory processes using both the Citizenlab platform and direct activities with citizens, such as research walks, citizen cafes, etc. We will produce a publication on the use of new technologies in processes of consultation and co-decision with citizens (in Polish and English). The project will be concluded with an international e-Participation Festival. In the project, we will benefit from international experience of using the digital platform so that the implemented participatory processes are effective, attractive and bring about a sustainable change in local governments.
