Municipalities Experimenting with Digital Innovation, Upskilling and the Metaverse
The project aims to educate on the use and potential of new digital technologies, including virtual reality, augmented reality, and the metaverse. It will support the development of digital skills within the public sector, contributing to its ongoing digital transition while promoting innovation and accessibility to public services. The municipalities involved are encouraged to reflect on how to leverage these new digital technologies to further enhance their services, explore new solutions to social issues, and improve citizen engagement in decision-making processes.
Focusing on technologies expected to play a key role in the coming years, the project includes training activities designed to equip public officials with the tools to understand an ever-evolving digital landscape and to improve the level of digitisation within their working environments.
The project’s goal is not only to lay the foundation for innovative public services delivered partially or entirely through digital tools and immersive technologies but also to experiment with new ways of involving citizens in decision-making. This approach allows citizens to interact directly with local authorities through digital spaces, offering opportunities to provide feedback, ask questions, and engage with both elected and non-elected officials.
