Christiaan Holland from Dialogic is a member of the editorial board of the eParticipation project of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. This eParticipation project includes organizing the eParticipation Summit.
What opportunities do new developments on the internet offer for better collaboration between citizens and the government? And how can we effectively connect governance and internet culture?
These questions will be the central focus during the eParticipation Summit on Thursday, November 15, 2007, at the Amsterdam-based Pakhuis de Zwijger.
The eParticipation Summit is a working conference on the new possibilities of the internet ('web 2.0') for citizen participation and how governments can utilize and promote these possibilities. The summit is an initiative of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations.
The Cabinet-Balkenende IV places citizen participation at its core. Dutch citizens should have the space to start initiatives and collaborate with their government. This implies a different role for the government and public administration, its way of working, and the necessary (e)skills of its civil servants and officials.
Recent technical developments on the internet - commonly captured under the term 'web 2.0' or 'the social web' - potentially provide excellent opportunities for this. Profile and community sites, wikis, weblogs, RSS, multimedia content, Google Maps, and mash-ups: all new applications that have significantly changed the internet. The government can also benefit from these. The question is just: how?
