Civil Society 2.0
NOTHING CAN STOP AN IDEA
WHOSE TIME HAS COME.
Victor Hugo
CRISISMEANS DANGER AND OPPORTUNITY
• Political disconnect
• GAP between ‘the people’
and ‘the elite’
• Frustration with the European
project
• Lack of engagement - people
increasingly skeptical about
the European ideals
THE ZEITGEIST
THE WORLD
HAS
CHANGED
• The internet is changing the world, and how we communicate
A NEW WORLD OF INFORMATION
• To connect
• To share knowledge
• To make a difference
THE INTERNET HAS GROWN BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT
THREE THINGS:
• Will radically transform our
very notion of Civil Society
• It will put the citizens firmly in
the driver seat
• Do to political institutions
what the internet has done to
companies: reverse the
pyramid - transform the
hierarchical structures of
traditional command and
control and empower the
citizens to drive political
change
THE VIRTUAL HOUSE

corner stone of our virtual house
