IDEU – Digital transition that leaves no-one behind

Are you interested in shaping the future of digital policy in Bulgaria, and in Europe? We’re working to ensure that the EU’s digital transformation leaves no one behind, and your voice is crucial.

What’s this initiative all about?

IDEU – Inclusive Digitalisation in the EU – is all about understanding what you think about digital policies, and letting know policy makers what your ideas are! We’re concerned that while the EU is making strides in digital legislation (like the Digital Markets Act, the Digital Services Act and even an Artificial Intelligence Act), the digital divide among us is still a major problem. This means many people are being left behind as our societies become increasingly digital.

Why should I care?

Because this affects everyone. The digital divide impacts access to essential services, economic opportunities, and even political participation. We want to hear about the challenges you face in your daily life due to a lack of digital inclusion. Do you have trouble accessing online services? Do you know others who are excluded? We want to know!

What can I do?

We’re running a year-long crowdsourcing campaign. Crowdsourcing is a way of gathering information or ideas from a large group of people, usually online. We call it Gathering the Wisdom of the Multitude! Think of it like asking everyone for their input rather than just a few experts. In our case, we’re asking citizens like you across six European countries: Spain, Germany, Belgium, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Romania to share their experiences and propose concrete solutions to policymakers. Your input will directly contribute to recommendations that will be presented to decision-makers at the European, national, and local levels.

Who’s involved?

IDEU is a partnership of seven civil society organizations from across Europe, led by ECAS. Our partners include:

What’s the goal?

Our goal is to raise awareness about digital transformation policies and create a stronger community of stakeholders – including citizens like you, civil society organizations, policymakers, academics, and the media – to drive digital and political innovation in the EU. Ultimately, we want to create a more inclusive digital future for everyone.
