The Methodology of Structured Democratic Dialogue will be used in order to <u>identify reasons</u> why youth abstains from basic democratic processes, as well as to support them design solutions to <u>address the key root causes</u> identified. The aim is to <u>empower young participants</u> to take action and promote their very own ideas and solutions, and find innovative solutions to <u>utilize the broad range of ICT tools</u> the project is based predominantly on the [[Structured Democratic Dialogue Process (SDDP)]]. | |||
We chose this particular methodology because of its uniqueness in mobilizing participants. In addition, the SDDP methodology is based on scientific laws, which have been repeatedly validated, empirically and scientifically, in the arena of practice. Taking all this into consideration, the co-Laboratories of Democracy will be implemented using the methodology of structured democratic dialogue. This methodology supports groups of diverse stakeholders with conflicting opinions and interests to effectively discuss a matter of joint concern, integrate their knowledge, and democratically redesign their socio-organizational systems and practices reaching consensus agreement for effective collaborative action. Using this approach, the 100 youth and citizens’ representatives will develop a common language, a shared understanding of the problematic situation in which they are embedded, and will be better equipped to formulate their ideas, suggestions, and strategies with clarity. The interaction will empower youth to take follow-up actions and thus ensuring their strong commitment to the project. | We chose this particular methodology because of its uniqueness in mobilizing participants.
