Citizen Labs

What are the TWON Citizen Labs?

In TWON we want to create impact from our research! We do not only translate our scientific results into actionable recommendations for decision-makers in politics and industry – we also foster digital citizenship and the public debate on the role online social networks should play in our society. This is why our Citizen Labs are an essential part of TWON. Organised by DialoguePerspectives e.V., our researchers come together with diverse young leaders from all over Europe to present and discuss our research, obtain feedback on the lived realities in the online space by members of minority groups and develop actionable paths for positive change.

The Citizen Labs are conducted by TWON consortium memberDialoguePerspectives. Discussing Religions and Worldviews e.V.within the framework of the Future500 programme. DialoguePerspectives trains young European leaders in the sciences, culture, politics and business to become experts in a new, society-oriented interreligious-worldview dialogue. DialoguePerspectives contributes significantly to understanding and cooperation in Europe, strengthens and defends European civil society and strives to shape a pluralistic, democratic and solidary Europe. The programme brings together participants from diverse communities, backgrounds and minority groups, encompassing individuals with 19 different religions and beliefs across 25 European countries. Through their unique perspectives and expertise, they contribute to fostering understanding, cooperation, and a pluralistic, democratic, and cohesive Europe.
