As part of the study on mapping youth participation in digital democracy in Albania and Montenegro, EYDR project partners have analyzed existing practices in European Union and Western Balkans. This research instrument – case studies analysis – identifies examples of successful practices that have significantly boosted digital participation and activism. Additionally, this research instrument analyses the essential components of these initiatives or programmes, offering them as exemplary models for the Western Balkan (WB) region. Emphasis is placed on contextual relevance, focusing on examples that are applicable to the improvement of policies and conditions within WB countries.
Our partner CCIS have prepared a comprehensive list of case studies in EU and Western Balkans, reviewed and prepared for publication by SCiDEV. After receiving feedback from our partners in Belgrade, BCHR and SHARE, the revised version of the case studies will be incorporated in the main study. The study on the mapping of youth participation in digital democracy in Albania and in Montenegro is under preparation and will be published in autumn 2024. It will serve as a basis to inform all project activities, but also provide useful evidence and recommendations for interested stakeholders in this area.
