Scaling digital citizen participation - free of charge and in just three steps to a platform for your own city or municipality
Digital citizen participation can complement existing (often analog) forms of citizen participation - especially in times of Covid-19.
However, setting up such platforms is a major challenge for many cities and municipalities. The project "(M)ein Projekt für alle, alle für (m)ein Projekt!" by the Department of Business Informatics (Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister) at the University of Kassel, which was funded by the Hessian State Chancellery, has taken on this challenge.
The focus of Matthias Billert, Dr. Christoph Peters and Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister in the project was to make access to good digital citizen participation as easy as possible. As a result, all interested cities and municipalities have access to a platform for free use that allows for simple configuration through step-by-step instructions and DIY-style explanatory videos. It was possible to build on the "Awaken the Hercules in you" platform previously developed for Kassel in the BMBF-funded project Civitas Digitalis
(www.civitas-digitalis.de).
