ADVOCACY
ECHO (Ethical, Common, Human and Open) Network is a project running until the end of November 2024 which intends to promote digital citizenship and responsible use of digital technology, providing citizens and organisations with a clear understanding of how to use digital technology ethically, and focuses on how EU institutions address this matter to safeguard citizens.
The project is coordinated by CEMÉA France and its consortium comprises of 7 partner organisations: CEMÉA Belgique, CEMEA Federazione Italiana, CEMÉA France, Centre for Peace Studies, Framasoft, SOLIDAR Foundation and Willi-Eichler-Akademie based in 5 different countries Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany and Italy.
At the core of ECHO Network lies the aim to engage (young) people in a digital transition towards an ethical, responsible, inclusive and sustainable digital space. The project explored how civil society organisations (CSOs), including youth organisations, can be empowered to understand how our digital society works, and enabled the exchange of practices and shared experiences on the ethical use of digital technologies.
To encourage a change in practices among youth organizations and civil society, the ECHO project partners have produced a plea to European elected representatives and decision-makers to promote ethical, responsible, inclusive and sustainable use of digital technology.
