Consulting

We assist local communities, regions, and public agencies for the design of ICT-based participatory democracy and for actions to empower citizens through the usage of ICT and Free/open source software. We also provide consulting services to companies for concertation actions within their staff or with external stakeholders.

Sopinspace is experienced in assisting communities and local government at all phases of participatory democracy projects and policy. In particular, we helped many local government in the Nord - Pas de Calais region of France to design participatory democracy projects.

We also provide consulting services to regions, helping them to design ICT-based citizen participation policies.

Our actions make use of our general knowledge of this domain, built through theObservatory of Internet-based public debates (which we facilitate, contents mostly in French) and through our participation in think-tanks that bring together players in this domain. Sopinspace coordinates the Public Sphere Working Group of the COMMUNIA European Network.
