OneWebDay 2008: Online Participation in Democracy

OneWebDay is September 22 every year, starting 2006. The focus is always on one key value of the Internet and this year it’s online participation in Democracy!

The Web is worth celebrating and

…we all - everyone around the physical globe - can celebrate the Web and what it means to us as individuals, organizations, and communities.

As with Earth Day - an inspiration and model for OneWebDay - it’s up to the celebrants to decide how to celebrate. We encourage all celebrations! Collaboration, connection, creativity, freedom.

By the end of the day, the Web should be just a little bit better than it was before, and we’ll be able to see our connection to it more clearly.

All information on how to participate and lots of OWD stories can be found on the website. Since this years focus is on eParticipation, we think that PEP-NET should definitely celebrate the OneWebDay. The question is how? Any ideas?
