Introduction

 * What is online participation?

Process the following

 * In the Netherlands, probably also in other countries, you have a movement called city makers. In my home town Haarlem you have a WhatsApp group with 150 people. In 2020 we organised ourselves in subgroups. We have a team focused on: circularity, city farming, green city, sustainability, etc. We also have a team that focuses on art, culture and creativity. In 2021 we would like to setup a team that focusses on technology. See tech teams for more info.
 * In 2021 we are also looking for ways to get into a dialogue with people from our local government.
 * We use a platform called https://stadmakersonline.nl and of course whatsapp and LinkedIn-groups. With the Tech4Society team we are thinking about creating an open source city makers app.
