The Association Civic Tech Europe (ACTE) and its community stand ready for the next EU elections with the launch of its new training offer!
Since its creation, ACTE actively fights to strengthen citizens' participation in democracy and forge new links between voters and institutions.
9 months before the renewal of the European Parliament and part of the European Commission, it is our duty to make sure as many Europeans as possible are mobilised. Because we believe citizens should get involved on a continuous basis, on top of the electoral periods, we are glad to launch today ACTE's training offer!
Our tailor-made training offer
Designed for the civil society stakeholders as well as the local, national, and Europan political organisations, ACTE's members designed 4 advanced modules to help you mobilising your community.
1. Organize massive online engagement consultations
This training module will provide you with learnings on how to engage citizens in your constituency massively. You will first learn in what cases massive online participation is a useful tool to engage people, before shedding light on the advantages of the tools provided by the civic tech environment. After this training module, you will know more about why, how and when to engage your citizens on a massive scale.
