How to bring transparency, public participation, and collaboration to your local government. This is an international course!

Summary

The purpose of this international course is to empower emerging and established leaders who want to improve their local government.  We are building on the momentum generated by the US Open Government Initiative to bring transparency, participation, and collaboration to all levels of government.

Participants in this course will learn how to grow the open government community in their part of the world.  Participants will be sharing knowledge, challenges, and solutions in order to hold 100+ Local Open Government Innovation Summits across the US and abroad in May 2011.

This course has evolved and now we are moving forward only if we have a critical mass of 100 organizers step forward to hold a local summit: http://local-opengov.eventbrite.com/

Learning objectives

  • Build a vibrant open government community where you live.
  • Build a team that will organize a Local OpenGov Innovation Summit in May 2011 in a city near you.
  • Increase local government transparency, public participation, and inter-agency collaboration.

Is this course only appropriate for US participants? If so, it should be noted clearly.

Great question! This course is for everyone. We have participants from Australia, the UK, Chile, and Iceland who have already been signing up through our wiki at http://opengovplaybook.org/Local-OpenGov-Innovation-Summits

I've made the change above so it's clear that this is international.
