Projects and Forms of the European Digital Citizenship. The exponential development and dissemination of ICT (information and communication technology) has modified the diverse aspects of the economic, political, legal and cultural life, thus redefining the concepts of time, space and identity.
Information technology, which has soon become a mass technology, has revolutionized information production and exchange, affecting the pillars of society which define our way of living, communicating, relating to others and establishing new businesses. The potential of an expeditious and effective exchange of data and information crosses geographical borders and time constraints, redesigning new social, legal, political and economic models, which pivot around information exchange and knowledge sharing. These are the pillars of the project for an increasingly free, democratic and supportive European space.
The implicit assumption consists in the fact that, in the current social framework, information plays a strategic role and, with technology potentials, the spread of information is unprecedented in both private and institutional relations.
