“Young People Are the Guardians of the Open Government Galaxy”: Discussion. To what extent are digital practices a threat or an opportunity for future generations?
This Accountability Lab and European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) event will bring together the OGP Youth Collective and the Youth Democracy Cohort in a debate style format to discuss digital governance. The one hour session will be framed as a moderated debate with two participants on each side debating the topic before the session opens up to questions and then discussion. The idea of the format is to be provocative and to find new ways of drawing out ideas around a key OGP theme.
The theme will be centered around digital governance, which has the capacity to revolutionize every aspect of government, enabling access to information, and allowing for better transparency and accountability of public services. But how about the challenges? Recognizing that digital governance can also bring significant threats, this debate will examine both the benefits and the risks that digital governance can bring to our democracy.
For one week in May, come together to share ideas, discuss solutions, and commit to new levels of citizen participation in government.
