Discussion forums for digital citizens
Discussion forums will be set up as part of this initiative in order to:
- Promote wide community participation in the development of IT for
All in Brighton and Hove and the Digital City by the Sea
- Share experience with European partners and other communities
The forums are being set up in association with UK
Citizens Online Democracy, and with UK
Communities Online.
UKCOD recently hosted an online discussion between Members of the European
Parliament and others about whether Britain should join the European Monetary
Union, and is currently promoting debate on the UK Government's Green Paper
'Government Direct: A Prospectus for the Electronic Delivery of Government
Services'.
UK Communities Online runs Communities
Online Forum for anyone interested in the use of new media technology
for community benefit, and is developing material for the national IT
for All campaign. UKCO is also a member of the International
Association for Community Networking.
