Re-imagine democracy with us online — social kit
Imagine a country where decisions are honestly made, transparent and accountable, where outcomes cannot be bought or manipulated and where policy-making processes enhance democratic participation and connection.
This Thursday, Open Government Networks across the UK will be coming together to host the Re-imagine Democracy conference. We want you to join us in the discussions as together we look to #ReimagineDemocracy.
It’s the first time all four networks from Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales will come together to host a UK-wide event. We may be in Belfast but we’re making it possible for you to join in online.
You can access the event agenda as well as other details here. If you’re in Belfast and would like to join us, some tickets are still available.

Help promote the conference by retweeting us
From 2:30 pm, we will move from our lightning talks and deliberative dialogues to a workshop on how open government can solve the issues that matter to you. Our online audience will still be able to contribute to the workshop by following the prompts tweeted by ourselves (remember, follow #ReimagineDemocracy) and sending us your thoughts and ideas.
The input we receive from the room and online will feed into developing the UK’s and devolved nations’ open government action plans so it’s certainly worth getting involved.
