Developing Participatory Spaces using a Multi-stage, Multi-level, Multi-mode, Multi-lingual, Dynamic Deliberative approach (M4D2)

Descripción del proyecto

Espacios participativos innovadores para apoyar la democracia

El proyecto EUComMeet, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo examinar las condiciones bajo las cuales la deliberación y la representación pueden ser una respuesta eficaz a los desafíos a los que se enfrentan las democracias representativas liberales. El proyecto experimentará con formas de incluir sistemáticamente prácticas deliberativas y las instituciones en el sistema multinivel de gobernanza y de representación de la Unión Europea. Además, investigará la forma en que la deliberación y la participación pueden ayudar a reducir la polarización, reforzar la identidad europea, fomentar la integración y reducir la brecha representativa entre los responsables políticos y los ciudadanos.

Objetivo

The EUComMeet project explores under which conditions deliberation and representation can be an effective “response to the challenges besetting liberal representative democracies.” To do so, EUComMeet (a) experiments ways of systematically embedding deliberative practices and institutions in the multilevel system of governance and representation of the European Union; and (b) explores how deliberation and participation can help reduce polarisation, strengthen European identity, encourage inclusiveness, foster citizens’ reflectivity and narrow the representative gap between policymakers and citizens.

To address these two goals EUComMeet will:
• Bring together a nine-partners consortium composed of leading academic experts; organisations with a vast experience in deliberative and participatory practices in Europe; the methodological experience of third-parties and a wide set of societal actors and stakeholders.
• Adopt a proactive research strategy to develop viable solutions to improve the democratic practice in three stages: (1) Lessons Learned (i.e. the understanding phase); (2) Fill the gap (i.e. the connecting phase between understanding and design of participatory spaces,); and (3) Make it Happen (i.e. the implementation of events based on the proposed design).
• Contribute to the democracy research area with in-built connections to policy-making to design novel Participatory Spaces that include citizens, policy makers and stakeholders during the project’s run-time.

These Participatory Spaces will be based on an innovative M4D2 (Multi-stage, Multi-Level, Multi-Mode, Multi-Lingual and Dynamic Deliberative) approach conceived as a flexible, interactive, easy-to-use and scalable up model for deliberative processes, integrated with innovative technology related to automated moderation and automated translation in multiple languages to be implemented in 5 countries (France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Poland).
