The European Local Democracy Week (ELDW)
takes place every year during the week of the 15 October, and is
coordinated by the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the
Council of Europe. The 2012 edition will take place from 15 to 21
October and will focus on “
Human rights make for more inclusive
communities”. Local and regional authorities of the 47 member states of
the Council of Europe are invited to take part and to organize events
in their community, in order to strengthen citizen democratic
participation at local and regional level. To make the task of the
participating communities easier, several innovations have been included
in the new ELDW internet platform.
“I am convinced that the new web tool will give a boost to the
2012 edition of the Local Democracy Week and more visibility.
Municipalities and regions will be more likely to join in and organise
events in their communities. The new platform also provides the
national associations and other European and international partners with
their own dedicated section so their contribution to raising awareness
on this pan-European event will be recognised” said Congress President
Keith Whitmore. President Whitmore has been a firm supporter of the
Week since it was launched in 2007.

The strengths of the new Internet platform include:
· Registration for SEDL is facilitated by a dynamic form for each of the three profiles: Partner, “12 Star city” or Association
· Each participating community will have a dedicated web space for displaying various contents: description of the community, pictures, the programmes of the activities, documents, etc.
· Communities will manage their web space directly with a username and a password, and content can be edited at any time, modified, updated and supplemented.
· The visibility of their contribution will be improved and enhanced through a dedicated web page, ergonomic, and through sharing tools such as Facebook and e-newsletter.
