The Department of Pedagogy of the IUSVE organizes a seminar for teachers on the experimentation of digital platforms for citizen participation. The experience of the WeGovNow project (www.wegovnow.eu) will be analyzed and discussed with the Prof. Guido Boella and Claudio Schifanella of the Department of Informatics of the University of Turin. The project develops a digital platform able to involve civil society in the co-production of services addressed to citizens and in the development of strategic approaches to community development.

WeGovNow integrates existing software with new technological components into a single platform. The main functionalities allow citizens to report malfunctions and problems on a local scale; vote for local policy actions; network with other citizens; mark and locate on a map the information related to points of interest; cross-reference supply and demand for collaboration and assistance.

The seminar will be an opportunity for discussion and debate on the relationship between territorial socio-educational processes and technological platforms with a view to research and project development between universities.
