Inclusive Community Engagement Online - Project Home
The Inclusive Community Engagement Online initiative is a comprehensive three year initiative led by E-Democracy.org. With three years of initial funding from the Knight Foundation for $625,000, it has three main components:
- St. Paul Neighbors Forums - Inclusion, expansion, and engagement to reach 10,000 participants
- Lesson Sharing - Convening, research, and promoting online engagement widely
- Innovation and Technology - Next generation experiments
The BeNeighbors.org campaign is slated to evolve into a "Got Milk?" style directory of online neighborhood spaces including those well beyond the official E-Democracy forum network.
