Notes from the discussion group “Tools”, Dec. 7, 2017, 16:00–17:45

 

1. Sharing Experiences

Tools:

  • Youth Group (offline)
  • Poll on OPIN (online)
  • OPIN (online)
  • Live Conversation (offline)
  • Online Form Tools (online)
  • Cooperation with existing youth groups/organizations (offline)
  • Workshops (offline)
  • Using video (+ manual transcription) to engage youth
  • Minecraft (the video game) to design spaces collaboratively

 

Topics for participation processes:

  • Iparticipate asked youngsters: Should Marihuana be legalized 
  • Mobility
  • Local (city) events 
  • Local (city) activities

 

Challenges:

  • URLs to access online tools do not work, Iparticipate created snapchat filters
  • Lack of literacy skills
  • Rejection of new technologies
  • Mobile Phones were sometimes challenging (could not access polls on OPIN for some time)
  • Double votes 
  • Youngsters think “nothing will change”/ distrust the local decision makers
  • Online activities need a lot of promotion
  • Online processes are prone to trolling (example: Online Dialogue by the German Chancellor)
  • To reach youth we need to work with pictures + movies

 

How was online/offline combined?:

  • Kick-Off –> Workshop face-to-face on participation in general -> Ideas in online Brainstorming afterwards
  • Kick-Off to introduce the online activities

 

2. Our recommendations

Group 1:

To the developers:

It needs to be more accessible by allowing organizations to personalize it and make the results more visible.

 

Group 2:

To decision makers and practicioners:

Participation processes should start at the local level and at the everyday reality of youth.

 

Group 3 (in front of windows)

To Practicioners  and Decision Makers:

We always should meet in person first with young people and follow-up with the results.

The three recommendations which were proposed by the Tools group are:

 


  • To the developers:

It needs to be more accessible by allowing organizations to personalize it and make the results more visible.

 


  • To decision makers and practicioners:

Participation processes should start at the local level and at the everyday reality of youth.
