Video Seminar Participation, Active Citizenship and Community Media
This Respublika! seminar aims to discuss the needs, opportunities and challenges for increased levels of participation in all societal fields, and its implications and requirements for active citizenship and civil society. One particular field, the field of communication, will be gently highlighted during the seminar, without decontextualising communication and disconnecting it from the many other social fields and their specificities.
The seminar was organised on 13 January 2018, at the NeMe Arts Centre, in Limassol, Cyprus. The video of the seminar Participation, Active Citizenship and Community Media seminar is available online.
