More information about the workshops

The Scottish Government is working with civil society (meaning different organisations and the people who live in Scotland) to write a new National Action Plan for Open Government.

In five idea generation events in July, a broadly representative group of volunteers will help shape the new plan with their ideas and ambitions on making Government policy more open, transparent, ethical, participative, and accountable. You can be one of them! This is a chance for you to get your ideas heard to help change how Government works. You don't need to know about the topics as there will be a short presentation at the start of the workshop on what's happened so far.
