Open Gov Week: Participation Day
About this Event
In 2019, Open Government Partnership will be focusing on gender and inclusion as key priorities. The UK Government would like to use the Open Government Week as an opportunity to seek feedback from the public on the most effective and inclusive methods of implementation of our OGP commitments and increasing participation in the policymaking process.
During this open policymaking workshop organised by DCMS, Policy Lab, and the Scottish Government, we aim to convene people who are leading open policy projects to collectively consider further developments of their practice.
This practical workshop is aimed at local authorities, central government officials, civil society representatives, and anyone who would like to learn more about open and participatory policymaking.
