Forwarding Democratic EU Participation - FORCEP

This project seeks to foster European citizenship and to improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at Union level. This can be achieved by developing a network of municipalities and strengthening the e-democracy process through e-consultation and e-initiative to make citizens' understand the Union policy making-process and promote opportunities for societal engagement of a specific target group: the long-term unemployed, the group that is gravely affected by the social exclusion.
The project aims to establish a network of towns and municipalities that have to cope with a common target: to get their unemployed citizens involved in the Union making process with the aim of reducing social exclusion by European legislation and policies.
