The pilot’s understanding of co-creation

‘Co-creation’ as it is approached within the framework of the CoSIE project referring to Voorberg et al’s (2014) definition is unfamiliar in Estonia. The Republic of Estonia Government Office (2018) uses the term ‘engagement’ in referring to policy-making citizens and non-governmental organisations. The definition of engagement includes making decisions with those whom these decisions influence, and take them into consideration in implementing policies. Thus engagement is seen as increasing the openness of policy-making, transparency of decision-making and hopefully people’s trust in political institutions.
