Project summary
The Open Ministry was founded in spring 2012 on order to help citizen movements and CSO’s
to influence what kinds of laws are passed in Finland. In addition The Open
Ministry is an online tool for crowd sourced legislation and participative
democracy. It is about crowd sourcing legislation, deliberative and
participatory democracy and citizen’s initiatives. It is a non-profit
organization based in Helsinki, Finland. It helps citizens and NGO's with
national citizens' initiatives, EU citizen’s initiatives and develops the
online services for collaborating, sharing and signing the initiatives. The Open Ministry hopes that, in the courage of
deliberative democracy, this popular initiative
will encourage public discussion and continue to gather support and media
attention.
