Hi all,

You will have heard about Europe's Digital Agenda. It is European Union's
road map for bringing the benefits of a digital society and economy to
Europe's citizens. On June 16/17 there will be a first Assembly, during
which they will involve all stakeholders in assessing problems and
identifying solutions. (more on the
DAA<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital-agenda/daa/index_en.htm>
)

For the European Commission,I am looking for people's stories on how people
contribute to the Digital Agenda and what they need to achieve greater
impact.

We're looking for as many 1 minute video stories as we can find (a minimum
of 50!) and we only have another ten days to get them (deadline is May 30).
That's why we really need your help! Because we would like you (or people
close to you) to have a voice in such a large European event like this. A
selection of videos will be shown at the Digital Agenda Assembly in June.

To give you an idea what the Digital Agenda covers, you can browse through
the lists of actions on each of the 8 big themes of the Digital Agenda
(they're called pillars):

- Digital Single
Market<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/pillar.cfm?pillar_id=43&pillar=Digital%20Single%20Market>

- Interoperability and
Standards<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/pillar.cfm?pillar_id=44&pillar=Interoperability%20and%20Standards>

- Trust and Security<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/pillar.cfm?pillar_id=45&pillar=Trust%20and%20Security>

- Very Fast Internet<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/pillar.cfm?pillar_id=46&pillar=Very%20Fast%20Internet>

- Research and Innovation<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/pillar.cfm?pillar_id=47&pillar=Research%20and%20Innovation>

- Enhancing e-skills<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/pillar.cfm?pillar_id=48&pillar=Enhancing%20e%2Dskills>

- ICT for Social
Challenges<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/pillar.cfm?pillar_id=49&pillar=ICT%20for%20Social%20Challenges>

- International<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/pillar.cfm?pillar_id=50&pillar=International>

You may have a story to share on this yourself. Then go grab a (web)cam and
tell it in 60 seconds, upload it to your Youtube-account and fill out this
form<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital-agenda/daa/video/form/index_en.htm>
.

Perhaps you know colleagues or friends involved in the topics covered by the
Digital Agenda, then forward this message or put them in front of a camera
and (let them) upload it to Youtube and fill out this
form<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital-agenda/daa/video/form/index_en.htm>
.

(More details on this video
competition<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital-agenda/daa/video/index_en.htm>
(top
10 rated will be shown at the Assembly itself))

Below is the official announcement by the Commission with all the proper
links where you can view other contributions, post a video and more
information about the Assembly itself. I would really appreciate it if you
could contribute something and/or forward this message to people you know
who can't wait to be heard :)

Thanks for your effort!

All the best,

Ton
