The 15th of November 2008, 600 youngsters from Poitou-Charentes (France), Tuscany (Italy) and Catalonia (Spain) discussed and proposed their solutions to tackle climate change during an e-town meeting : a great world premiere!

Since 2005, the Poitou-Charentes Region gathers all the educative community to decide collectively of the allocation of 10% of the budget attributed to high-schools. It is a unique experience, allowing that a euro spent be a useful euro.

The European Network for Participatory Democracy is drawing support from the twofold observation, first of all, that participatory democracy is truly emerging and secondly that there is a strong scientific interest in the matter. It would like to take part in facilitating meetings and dialogue amongst the various participants in this movement.
