Civic engagement is believed to be one principle requirement in successful governmental
decision making and in turn in realizing deliberation and democracy (Peña-Lopez, 2017; Irvin
and Stansbury, 2004). In this study, a state-of-the-art investigation was executed among five
civic engagement platforms to decide on the most suitable platform to start building the
prototype for the use case of Valencia. The selection was based on the comparison matrix of
the specifications elicited from technical project requirements, user suggestions through a
survey and a participatory workshop; and adaptability criteria. The selected platform
“Communecter” was developed, implemented and deployed on the internet for the validation
part for which evaluators from the students of the international master of peace, conflicts and
development studies were invited for a validation participatory workshop. Results from the
first survey and participatory workshop emphasised the importance of the discussion
availability through the platform, possibility of displaying volunteering opportunities and
organizing events among a bigger set of functions that are available in the selected platform.
The results of the validation show that the current civic engagement platform is a good
environment for pursuing civic activities by citizens and associations despite the technical
improvements needed and the usability issues. The platform furthermore should be
supplemented with other non-technological procedures that will tackle other concerns raised
during the study’s participatory workshops including motivation and social & age divide. [-]
