Description

Background and objectives

The values of open government promoted by the OGP (participation, transparency and accountability) imply a cultural change, a new relationship between citizens and public administration and vice versa.
Nowadays feelings like diffidence, contrast, anxiety, distrust on the one hand, and self- centeredness, indifference, disregard on the other, undermine that relationship and generate behaviors on both sides which negatively affect ordinary citizens and create grey areas where privileges proliferate sometimes leading to illegality.

Therefore, it is crucial to pair the action plan with a thorough dissemination process of the values of open government, making it possible for citizens to have a direct contact with the spaces of public administration where such values and principles are best represented.

Such spaces, both physical or digital, apps or digital services, will be highlighted, communicated, explained, made known and included in an overall communication and participation strategy addressed to citizens, with special attention paid to disadvantages categories, through social media and concrete initiatives at local level.

We will work on already tested solutions, recognized at the international level, to improve them, enhance them and make their impact bigger.
Commitments

This action is aimed at broadly disseminating the values of open government and strengthening the visibility of the places where these values are already implemented, by promoting:
- the organization of the Open Government Week;
- the Open Gov Champion Award;
- the restyling and enhancement of the website open.gov.it;
- the inclusion in the website open.gov.it of information and access to open government initiatives implemented by public administration (apps, websites and digital services);
- the organization of institutional communication campaigns to disseminate information on ongoing or already implemented open government initiatives;
- piloting PA communication strategies on social media for citizens and public administration itself;
- Implementation of multiple initiatives to engage visitors in national museums through digital environments.
