Manifesto on Societal change and development in a Digital Age

By Vin Sumner On June 10, 2011 · 7 Comments · In Local2020

Over the last few weeks Friesland, Cataluna and TNO have been working on a draft “Manifesto on Societal Change and Development in a Digital Age”. It is a positive call for action to and from all European Cities and Regions to shape their own future while combining regional realities with European policy goals for regional development and Digital Agenda’s. It’s aim is to develop and share “know how” on local Digital Agenda’ s and start a program that will help regions, helping themselves, whille helping each other with support from the EU. The Manifesto is therefore inclusive towards any (local) initiative that breathes the same spirit!

The manifesto will be discussed at the WS24 during the Digital Agenda Assembly June 17th in Brussels.

The manifesto is published below and you can make direct comments on the text.

    Well, I think the manifesto is a good starting point, but will it be useful? We just expect to see the response or support people will provide…
    Also comments to NOT support it will be welcomed, or possible improvements ;-)

    It’s a good starting point to show the links between digitization and societal changes. I see a lot of connections with .

    It’s a good starting point to show the links between digitization and societal changes. I see a lot of connections with Manuel Castells’ theory of the network society.

    Love to see your comment and support! We are especially looking for comments on the last parts of the manifesto where we are defining the LDAs and Local Digital Agenda eXchange and mentoring programme!
