»Blok.it promotes civic engagement and is an excellent example of the digital transformation of urban participation. It makes the complex and partially analog process of political participation accessible – especially for a younger generation of digital natives. The solution offers a well-designed workflow to get issues on the political agenda and helps users to draft texts through an integrated AI assistant. The innovative user interface offers an intuitive data visualization and a gamification approach that lowers the barriers to entry, bridging the gap between online and offline. The design is consistent and fits the target group. By encouraging a culture of civic engagement in a stimulating way, Blok.it makes people feel heard and can contribute to strengthening democracy.«
