Candidates will have until August 31 to participate in the “My e-Participation Story” Competition launched for e-Participation Day 2015, an event that was held simultaneously in 11 member states on May 7, 2015.
To participate in the competition, send us your story, presented in an interesting and original manner. It may be an interview, a story, an experience or anything else that comes to mind, either as a text (no more than 500 words) or a video (no more than 3 minutes). The objective is to narrate experiences on the use of participation tools provided to EU citizens (a consultation, a request, an issue, etc.).
All stories must be sent by via the on-line application.
Winners will get to travel to Brussels to present their experience at the International “e-Participation from a Citizens Perspective” Conference.
