Experientia, the international experience design consultancy, launches today a thematic blog on e-democracy.

E-Democracy is aimed at public authorities.

It gathers information on creative ways to increase citizen participation in the websites of public authorities, public administrations and local governments, and on background research on these topics.

The blog starts from the premise that the role of public services is to help people or to represent them, based on people’s needs and contexts. It is set up to guide innovation-oriented public website managers with examples of best practices and a discussion of the main issues. It is maintained by Mark Vanderbeeken.
