About
Who we are
We are a team of researchers who are looking into ways of using new technologies such as the Internet and mobile phones to help citizens participate in public policy discussions and debates. We believe that using new technologies creatively can help citizens to get involved and this in turn, helps policy makers keep informed of what the public think about important issues. Having on-line discussion forums etc. on matters of public concern offers quick and cooperative ways to develop active citizenry and citizens as partners in policy making.
We have chosen this issue of diversity because we believe that both educators and policy makers need to hear from young people on matters relating to diversity as they encounter it in their daily lives, whether at school or in their community.
