Good working time with Nicky, Federico and Claire :). Recommendations to Youth organizations. They should: Empower, develop and promote the use of e-participation tools such as social networks, interactive platforms, audio-video materials, to their members. These tools should be structured and developed into a strategy to approach disadvantaged neighborhoods. Combine the e-participation tools with regular face-to-face meetings. Organize trainings and workshops to develop e-participation skills. Engage authorities and civil society representatives in virtual meetings in order to shorten the distance between the two sides and generate a structured dialogue. Create e-learning opportunities for young people, adjusted to the specific problems of their disadvantaged neighborhoods. Develop e-youth work to prevent dangers on the web, by training courses and exchanges of good practices. Network better between themselves to exchange good practices, success stories and tools of participation and e-participation. Recommendations to Researchers. They should: Create evaluation tools to monitor the effectiveness of e-participation activities in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Better identify and explain the status-quo or the problems in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Implement specific participatory endeavors to young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods. Identify the disadvantaged neighborhoods and shape their profiles. Recommendations to Policy makers (local, regional and national authorities). They should: Develop free internet coverage in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Develop and encourage structural dialogue so that at least once a month they are engaged in participation or e-participation activities. Support the work of youth organizations by providing materials, spaces and funding opportunities to them. Be more engaged in partnership agreements with NGOs and the private sector to attract more resources to the local community. Offer recognition to the participation and e-participation activities that make a difference in the community. Use grants\/vouchers\/other types of support to help young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods to acquire technological equipment. Train policy makers in the benefits of e-participation opportunities in their line of work. Ensure the presence of at least one youth centre adequately equipped with computers and other materials necessary for e-participation, in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Have user- and youth-friendly websites. Have multiple language support of the websites of public authorities in multi-ethnic neighborhoods. Recommendations to European institutions. They should: Encourage all of the member states to develop the job of youth worker. Develop the profile of e-youth work. Act as the driving force to implement policy change at a high European level. Organize and support training courses at European level for e-youth work. They could be long-term and sustainable, followed-up by e-platforms. CoE recommend the members of CLRAE to encourage and be more involved in e-participation activities in their neighborhoods. CoE use CLRAE to share good practices of e-participation as a way to solve or better address community problems. The European Commission could allocate more resources to help disadvantaged communities use e-participation tools. European institutions could make participation in disadvantaged neighborhoods a priority in their line of action. European Commission should make a more effective promotion of the e-consultations on various topics when working on draft papers.
