Would you like to change one small thing (or change the whole system) to make democracy work better for all of us?
This event is for everyone who has something positive to say about local democracy and for anyone who is up for a challenge.

Will you have a hash tag & some experienced Tweeters posting key points as they develop so people who can’t be there can use Twitter to participate? That would be a simple, transparent & accessible way to give over some control of the agenda, the discussions & the “minutes” to bottom-up grassroots participation, without the usual imposition of facilitators, chairs, timekeepers or other top-down systems.
Public accessibility freedom accountability & transparency is pretty essential to the purpose & nature of the event isn’t it?

Hello. Our hashtag is #notwestminster – it’s the title of this page. All the workshop sessions have been created by participants, and each has its own additional tag, which you can find on the workshop ideas pages: https://notinwestminster.wordpress.com/category/workshops/ (more to come).
As we’ve already said on our blog, enabling people to participate online is really important to us: https://notinwestminster.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/local-democracy-for-everyone-we-are-open/
