Net Communities in support of local democracy

How can a combination of flexible study circles and net communities support local democracy and active citizenship?

• Is it possible to use communities as platforms for more open discussions in public debates?
• Is it possible for a community to increase the contact between citizens and local politicians?

See one example where non-formal study associations use the modern net community to highlight local social questions.  The film is made by The Swedish Agency for Flexible Learning. We want your comments in this subject!
