- Digital Resilience of Children and Young People in Rural Areas
  The main objective of the project is to strengthen digital resilience among children and young people in rural areas. Experiencing online risks has become an inherent part of growing up today. Research shows that children and adolescents most often cope with such challenges on their own, without support from adults. As contact with digital risks is unavoidable, it is important to develop children’s digital resilience – including critical thinking, coping strategies, and the ability to seek help when needed.

The Division of Powers (DoP) project is one of the flagship initiatives of the European Committee of the Regions. It was initiated in 1999, with a dedicated online platform set up in 2012, and a Decentralisation index added in 2021. The DoP provides an overview of levels of institutional and fiscal decentralisation in 53 countries: EU Member States, candidate countries, Eastern Partnership countries and non-European members of ARLEM. It also covers the UK and Iceland, because at the time of completion the former was still a Member State and the latter was a candidate country (these countries will be removed from the online presence of the project).

It shows the legal bases for the various governance structures in the respective countries. Quantitative and qualitative data allow for cross-national comparisons in the most important policy areas. An interactive map provides additional information on systems of multilevel governance and subsidiarity mechanisms in each country.

The study would serve to update the material that the European Committee of the Regions has been developing on the DoP. There is a pressing need to update the existing material on the Division of Powers, given the fact that on the one hand, the scaling down of support by Microsoft will lead to the decommissioning of the platform which is currently hosting the DoP website in the next two years, and on the other hand, the content on the website is outdated in many areas. The main part of the study would serve to provide updates on the existing material on the division of powers in a certain number of countries, in line with the current political priorities of CIVEX and the CoR. These should include the enlargement countries (candidate countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Moldova, Georgia, North Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, Türkiye and Ukraine; Potential candidate: Kosovo*).

At the same time, the study would look into the best way to ensure updates of the information on other countries and explore possibilities of having a certain level of interactivity, considering that a new formatting is needed given that the existing platform would be decommissioned. The preferred option is to present the information in a booklet/PDF style with certain interactive properties compatible with upload on the EU’s Publications Office (as any other CoR publication or study). It needs to be noted that the CoR does not have any hosting capacity for separate websites, and can only accept open-source files such as PDF (and not any Adobe or other proprietary file types).
