Description: 1. Opening (30’)
Short presentation of project and process (Missions Publiques). Feedback from members of the Advisory Board and Scientific committee of the project (M&F, developed & global South) and from participants to the debate (ordinary citizens, 1 from each continent, M&F, "youth” and “old”).
2. Discussion / Break-out groups (40’)
Participants are randomly split into groups of 5 (maximum diversity).
In each group a facilitator and a note taker guide the discussion. Participants discuss following questions (not exclusive):
When did empowerment turned into dependency? Why do citizens feel that they are becoming dependent? Is this backed by hard fact or is this a perception? In any case, how can this concern be tackled? What can be learned from other policy fields? How to work on that topic in 2020 and beyond?
3. Presentation of results of the groups and conclusion (20’)
Participants gather in plenary, some note takers present the key results of their group.
After WS: All notes are gathered and published.
The online participation will be organized as a mirror of the f2f participation:
1. E-Opening (30’)
The remote participants will be in a listening position and will be in the virtual room. Two of the feedback at the beginning will be delivered by remote participants: One organizer and one participant.
2. E-Discussion / E-Break-out groups (40’)
Online participants will be invited to join 5 virtual rooms (links will be provided at the beginning of the session - participants will be dispatched in function of the first letter of their country of origin). In each group a facilitator and a note taker will guide the discussion. The virtual group will discuss the same two questions as the f2f groups.
3. E-Presentation of results of the groups and conclusion (20’)
Online participants will join back the plenary, some remote note takers will present the key results of their group.
Expected Outcomes: We expect two outcomes:
1. At the level of the precise policy question, we expect the workshop to foster a broader discussion on the question of on-screen time.
2. At meta-level we expect the workshop to showcase how involving ordinary citizens into global internet governance allows to bring new topics on the table that stakeholder can then integrate in their discussion.
