Exploring Capacity for E- Enabled Youth Participation in Public Consultation
Throughout the course of the ECRG Project, sponsorship has been provided for a student; Michele Smyth to undertake research contributing to the degree award of PhD in the field of e-consultation. The chosen topic for this research is youth participation in online public consultation.
Whilst online public consultation is a relatively new phenomena and an emerging area of study, developments in the specific area of youth participation and the online medium suggest an assumed natural affinity among young people with the enabling technologies.
