中欧社会论坛 - China Europa Forum

The Workshop "Internet and Citizen Participation" has been officially launched during the Prime Movers’ Meeting which has taken place in Paris in 2009, July 22-23. This Meeting has lead to a rich and abounding debate about Internet and Citizen Participation, allowing to define topics for debate.
