4The second World Forum for Democracy took place in Strasbourg from 27 to 29 November, 2013.Nifarana tao Strasbourg ny 29 Novambra 2013 teo ny andiany faharoa amin'ny Vovonana Erantany momba ny Demaokrasia.
5Two and a half days of intense in sessions presented by experts at the Council of Europe, for which the public could register, and an off programme lasting over a week in various settings around the city seem to have installed this event in the landscape and calendar of the capital of Europe.Roa andro sy tapany, ny 27 hatramin'ny 29 Novambra, nanaovana fivoriambe mafonja “tanàty efitrano” tao amin'ny Filankevitr'i Eoropa, nentanin'ireo manampahaizana samihafa, nisy fisoratana anarana ho an'ny olon-tsotra, ary fandaharam-potoana iray “ivelan'ny trano” nandritry herinandro iray mahery, natao tany aminà toerana samihafa tao an-toerana no toa nametraka ity hetsika ity ho ao anatin'ny tontolo sy ny tetiandron'ny “renivohitr'i Eoropa”.
6Rue 89 Strasbourg set out the event [fr] the evening before it opened:Talohan'ny fanokafana dia nanontany tena ny Rue 89 Strasbourg hoe:
7Several dozen presentations, an in public expected to reach 1,700 people (800 took part in 2012), diplomats, civil servants representing both Europe and the city, at least 700 to 800 people for the off events (estimations for 2012).Fihetsiketsehana ampolony maro, olon-tsotra 1700 (800 tamin'ny 2012) andrasana mandritra ny fivoriana anaty trano, diplomaty, mpiasa ambony eoropeana sy avy ao Strasbourg, ary raha kely indrindra dia olona 700 ka hatramin'ny 800 mandritra ny fivoahana ivelan'ny trano.
8All for a budget of 1.2 million euros [1.6 million US dollars], with an additional 300,000 euros [410,000 US dollars] from the City of Strasbourg previously ‘ring-fenced' for other events throughout the year, but now concentrated on the period when the Forum takes place.Ireo rehetra ireo no andaniana tetibola mitentina 1,2 tapitrisa euros miampy ny 300 000€ an'ny tanànan'i Strasbourg teo aloha « natodika» ho aminà raharaha hafa mandritry ny taona, izay mifantoka bebe kokoa amin'ny vanim-potoanan'ilay Vovonana.

10The first Forum in 2012 focussed on the theme of “Democracy on Trial: Between Old Models and New Realities”, and was surrounded by the hope brought by the Arab spring and attended by global personalities. The 2013 Forum, on the other hand, which took place in the presence of the Secretary General of La Francophonie Abdou Diouf [fr] and the writer Amin Maalouf, claimed a more technical focus, both in its subject matter, “Re-wiring Democracy: connecting institutions and citizens in the digital age” and in its organisation, with 4 topics addressed in 21 ‘Labs', with expert presentations having been selected months in advance.Raha toa ny Vovonana voalohany tamin'ny 2012, nanandratra ny lohahevitra “Ny demaokrasia eo am-perinasa : miatrika ny lasitra tranainy sy ny zava-baovao iainana”, noravahan'ny fanantenana avy amin'ny lohataona arabo sy natrehan'ireo olona manan-kaja manerantany, ny an'ny taona 2013 kosa, fanokafana natrehan'ny Sekretera Jeneralin'ny Frankofonia Abdou Diouf sy ilay mpanoratra Amine Maalouf, dia naka endrika teknika kokoa tamin'ny zavatra noresahany, “Hamerina handràry ny demaokrasia : hampifandray ny andrim-panjakana amin'ireo olom-pirenen'ny vaninandro dizitaly”, ka tao anaty fanomànany, lohahevitra 4 notsinjaraina ho “Labs” 21 no nangonin'ireo manampahaizana manokana amin'izany ary nofantenana efa am-bolana maro.
11As a Global Voices representative and living only a few steps from the Palais de l'Europe where the forum took place, here is a review of some of the Labs I attended:Hany vehivavy solontenan'ny Global Voices nanatrika tao aho, mipetraka tsy lavitry ny Lapan'i Eoropa, ary ireo “Labs” tena nahasarika ahy no homarihako etoana :
12Liquid democracy - Lab 1. Photo by Suzanne Lehn.Démocratie liquide - Lab 1 .
13- Alternatives to representative democracy?Sary :Suzanne Lehn
14Lab 1: Liquid democracy, with a presentation by the German Pirate Party, and Lab 3: Fostering public debate and building a shared vision of the future, with particular reference to young people (Phillipines, France);- Ho solon'ny demaokrasia ahitàna ny hery rehetra ve ? Lab 1 : Démocratie liquide, narahan'ny fanolorana nataon'ny Parti Pirate alemana; Lab 3 : Manainga ny fifanakalozan-kevitra iarahan'ny daholobe ary manangana fomba fijery ifampizaràna mikasika ny hoavy, indrindra ho an'ireo tanora (Filipina, Frantsa)
15- Democracy 2.0: Lab 9: Election alert, with our friends from the iHub in Kenya;- Démocratie 2.0 : Lab 9 : Fanairana rehefa fifidianana, niarahana tamin'ireo Keniana namantsika avy ao amin'ny iHub
16- Governing with citizens;- Mitantana miaraka amin'ny olom-pirenena
17- Envisioning the future: Lab 17: Making films, making society, focussing on the Tunisie 4.0 Nesselfen project, and my favourite, Lab 18: “Solution journalism” in action in the presence of the Bangladeshi blogger Shahidul Alam and the Cuban dissident Guillermo Fariñas.- Misaina ny hoavy : Lab 17 : Mamorona sarimihetsika, mamorona fiarahamonina, niarahana tamin'ny tetikasa Tunisie 4.0 Nesselfen ; ary ny tiako indrindra, Lab 18 Ny “vahaolana fanaovana gazety” amperinasa, natrehan'ireo, ankoatry ny sasany, bilaogera bengladeshi Shahidul Alam sy ilay kiobàna mpanohitra, Guillermo Fariñas.
18Finally more human density.Raha tsorina dia be olona tao.
19The presentations were then summarised in two plenary sessions, including a vote on the initiatives presented; a somewhat empty process given that approval was invariably between 70 to 80%.Avy eo dia nofintinina ho fotoam-pivoriana itambarambe anankiroa ireo rehetra ireo, narahana fifidianana izay hetsika hovelabelarina, raharaha iray toy ny namboamboarina ihany satria nihodinkodina teo amin'ny 70 sy 80 % teo ireo fankatoavana.
20To provide more information, a Facebook page and a Twitter hashtag #CoE_WFD (the same as for the 2012 Forum) were created.Mba hampitàna ny vaovao, noforonina ny pejy Facebook iray sy ny tenifototra #CoE_WFD tao amin'ny Twitter (mitovy amin'ny tamin'ny Vovonana 2012 ihany).
21The Council of Europe website put videos and photos (here and here) of the sessions online, and created Google groups to continue discussions.Ny tranonkalan'ny Filankevitr'i Eoropa no nampakatra ireo lahatsary sy saripikan'ireo fivoriana (eto sy eto), ary namorona ny “google-groups” hanarahana ny resadresaka.
22The Médiapart blog provides detailed coverage of all of the sessions [fr] - including some of the off conferences.Misy mpanao sary hatrany nadray anjara isaky ny Lab tsirairay - Sary: Suzanne Lehn
23A design artist was present at each Lab. Photo by Suzanne Lehn.Ho hita ao amin'ny bilaogy Mediapart ny fandrakofana amin'ny antsipirihany ireo fivoriana amin'ny ankapobeny - isan'izany ireo kaonferansa natao tany ivelan'ny efitrano fivoriana.
24In this podcast, 5 student bloggers from Holland and Germany give their opinions.Ao anatin'ity podcast ity [amin'ny fiteny Anglisy], mpianatra 5 samy bilaogera, néerlandais, alemana… no mizara ny fihetsehampony.
25As part of the off events, the Global Voices author Alexey Sidorenko was interviewed [fr] by the Franco-German television channel Arte on the freedom of information in Russia.Ao anatin'ny resaka “fivoriana ivelan'ny efitrano”, nanontanian'ny fahitalavitra Arte miteny frantsay sy alemana i Alexey Sidorenko, mpanoratra ato amin'ny Global Voices mikasika ny fahalalahana mizara vaovao ao Rosia.
26Although the Forum was attended by participants from all over the world, it had very little in common with the designer chaos of a World Social Forum [fr], despite the Democracy Innovation Fair grouping together stands of organisations presenting their initiatives in a space within the Council of Europe, where access is reserved.Vovonana eo ihany, niarahana tamin'ireo mpandray anjara avy amin'ny kaontinanta rehetra. Saingy zara raha misy ifandraisany amin'ny saritaka namorona ny Vovonana sosialy iray erantany, na dia nisy aza ny Foaran'ireo Hetsika Demaokratika natao tao amin'ny faritry ny Filankevitr'i Eoropa, izay midika fa voatokana ny fahafahana nanatrika azy, nahavory tranoheva maro an'ireo sampana maro samihafa nampiranty ny fandraisany andraikitra nandritra ny fivoriana.
27The off programme [fr], coordinated by the City of Strasbourg, presented those living in and visiting Strasbourg with a diverse range of concerts, cinema festivals, debates and meetings organised by Reporters without Borders, the newspaper Le Monde, France Culture… That being so, one of the main purposes of the event seemed to be to stimulate reflection and increase the propositions of the Council of Europe in its role as a defender of democracy.Ny “tany ivelany“, izay ny tanànan'i Strasbourg no nandrindra azy, dia nampisehoana tamin'ireo mponin'i Strasbourg sy ireo mpitsidika ny fandaharam-potoana iray mizara maromaro, misy kaonseritra, fetin'ny sarimihetsika, fifanakalozan-kevitra na fampihaonana nokarakarainan'ny Reporters sans Frontières, ny gazety Le Monde, France Culture… Izany eo ihany, fa toa ny hamatsy ny fampisaintsainana sy ireo tolokevitry ny Filankevitr'i Eoropa, amin'ny asa maha-mpiaro ny demaokrasia azy, no iray amin'ireo tanjona nokinendrin'ilay hetsika.
28The ‘young leaders' from Europe, who are currently following courses given by the Council of Europe's network of schools of political studies, actively participated in sessions.Ireo eoropeana “tanora mpitarika”, manaraka ny fiofanana omen'ny tambajotran'ireo Sekoly Fianarana ny Politika Eoropeana an'ny Filankevitr'i Eoropa, dia nandray anjara mavitrika tamin'ireo fivoriana ireo.
29The Franco-German newspaper Eurojournal commented [fr] somewhat maliciously:Ny gazety Frantsay-Alemana Eurojournal manamarika, somary arahany eso, manao hoe :
30Yesterday, just after the end of the WFD, the lights of the Christmas market were switched on.Omaly, taorian'ny nifaranan'ny FMD indrindra, narehitra ny jiro mirentin'ny Tsenan'ny Noely.
31Chic.Milay.
32But once again, numerous participants were disappointed by the lack of concrete results which are to be expected from such a presentation claiming to represent the world and which certainly has the potential to do so.Fa mbola niverina indray, marobe ireo mpandray anjara no nalahelo tamin'ny tsy nisian'ny vokatra mivaingana andrasana tamin'ny hetsika toy izao izay misora-tena ho manerantany ary anefa manana tsara ny otrika rehetra hahatongavana amin'izany.
33If only the organisers were more ambitious.Raha toa mantsy ka mba nampiseho hambom-po naniry hahita fahombiazana nisinisy kokoa irao mpikarakara an!.
34The blog Décrypter la communication européenne [Decrypting European Communication] decrypted [fr] the issues of this Forum, based on the World Forum for Democracy 2013 Issues Paper: “Exploiting the web as a tool of democracy: new ways forward in the study and practice of digital democracy” [pdf], concluding:Ny bilaogy “Décrypter la communication européenne” no mandika ireo hevi-baventin'ilay Vovonana niainga avy aminà antontan-kevitra natao hosaintsainina amin'ny Vovonana Erantany momba ny Demaokrasia 2013 : “Fitrandrahana ny tranonkala mba ho fitaovana hisian'ny demaokrasia : làlana vaovao handalinana sy hampiharana ny demaokrasia dizitaly” [pdf] izay namintina hoe :
35Overall, the revolution of European digital democracy is underway, but rather than opposing the ‘force-for-progress' cyberenthusiasts and the ‘backwards-looking' cybersceptics, the fracture line depends first of all on what citizens and institutions do or don't do with the internet as a functional tool for democracy.Rehefa atambatra, dia miroso hatrany ny revolisionan'ny demaokrasia dizitaly eoropeana, fa tsy hoe mampifanohitra ireo « herin'ny fivoarana » mahatokynycyber amin'ireo « mihemotra» tsymanampanantenana.ny.cyber, ny tsipika manasaraka dia miankina voalohany indrindra amin'ireo olom-pirenena sy ireo andrim-panjakana mikirakira na tsia ny Aterineto, ho toy ny fitaovana miasa ho an'ny demaokrasia.

38Has the World Forum for Democracy reached maturity with this second event?Nahatratra fahamatorana ve ny Vovonana Erantany momba ny Demakorasia tamin'ity andiany faharoa ity?
39Led by the Council of Europe, an institution still lacking wider recognition [fr], and the City of Strasbourg, other French institutions, whether governmental, regional or local, were barely visible.Natsangan'ny Filankevitr'i Eoropa, antokon-draharaha iray mbola sahirana mitady ny toerany/lazany? ary ny tanànan'i Strasbourg, ireo antokon-draharaha frantsay hafa, an'ny fanjakana na faritra sy departemanta zara raha hita tao.
40The contributions and debates were rich, although their concentration over a short period of time - two half days of ‘Lab' presentations - meant that only two out of twenty one could be attended in full. The organisation was effective and creative, in particular with regard to the participation of artists, and has found a good cruising speed.Nanan-karena ny fandraisana anjara sy ny adihevitra, na teo aza ny hoe fivangongoany tao anaty fotoana tery dia tery - tapak'andro indroa hanaovana famelabelarana “labs” izany tsy ho ampy velively hijerena afa-tsy roa amin'ireo iraika ambiniroapolo), ny fikarakaràna, mahomby sy mitondra hevi-baovao, miaraka amin'ny fandraisana anjaran'ireo mpankanto, mazava loatra, dia nandeha taminà hafainganam-pandeha avo tokoa, saingy adinodino ny lafiny fifaneraserana sy maha-olona - raha tsy ohatra angaha ka hoe nasitrika tanatin'ireny takariva “winstub” malazan'ny renivohitr'i Alsace sy Eoropeana ireny ?
41Unfortunately, friendliness seemed to have been somewhat forgotten - unless it was hiding away in one of the famous ‘winstubs‘ found in the European and Alsatian capital?
