Project description
Fostering multilingual citizen deliberation in Europe
Citizen deliberation in Europe faces persistent challenges caused by language and cultural differences, which can limit citizens’ ability to participate fully in European public deliberation. These barriers reduce the effectiveness of debates on pressing issues, including employment, health, democracy, and the rule of law. The EU-funded IDEAL project aims to support deliberation across languages and cultures using digital tools and social innovation methods. It will develop a methodology that combines AI-supported tools, social innovation, and co-creation approaches. IDEAL will also build on existing participatory experiences, including the Conference on the Future of Europe. A mobile application will provide citizens with easy access to evidence, open data, and multicultural resources.

The project will develop a unique methodology to support effective deliberation in multicultural and multilingual contexts underpinned by an in-depth analysis of the European participatory landscape, the development of advanced AI-based tools and technologies, and rigorous testing in experimental field settings. IDEAL will leverage mechanisms of social innovation through design thinking, co-design, co-creation to deepen the scope and impact of its proposed methodology. Building on results from the Conference on the Future of Europe, deliberations initiated during the project will focus on issues related to European democracy, migration, health and wellbeing, jobs and social justice, and the rule of law. IDEAL will further develop Decidim deliberation platform functionality including multilingual evidence and open data for online multicultural training and support, backed up with real-time multilingual support services such as machine-effective translation simplification and subtitling and reading aloud applications. For offline environments, a user-friendly mobile application to support access to available multi-cultural resources (social indices, laws and regulations) will be developed. Finally, IDEAL will support the participation of users and their access to multilingual information in both modes through the development of a chatbot functionality embedded in the platform.
