In this episode 

In every local community, big or small, citizens express their opinion on issues that matter to them. Social media and online consultation tools have made it easier for them to do so. But while online consultation tools can be designed in a way to be specific and structured, the public debate on social media can be many-sided and dispersive, if it's not managed to bring good ideas to the next level, while monitoring and tackling radical behaviors, extremism and hate speech. Managing and driving the public debate online is part of the job of a local councilor, with the aim of making it bearing fruit for the public good. These are the few things that we will explore in this episode with our guest, Allison Gilliland, Dublin City Councillor and member of the European Committee of the Regions.
