Civic Innovation Programme - Derry-Londonderry Information Workshop
Event Information
About this Event
This information workshop in Derry-Londonderry is for organisations and individuals who would like to find out more about the programme, including how to submit ideas for projects and get involved.
The only independently-funded programme of its kind in the UK or Ireland, the Civic Innovation Programme will formally commence in January 2020 and will use a combination of intensive project design support, expertise on public participation and grant-funding to support the delivery of new initiatives that aim to deepen local democracy in Northern Ireland.
Open to all voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, as well as public sector representatives and interested individuals, the programme will support projects that can deliver both greater public influence over key societal issues as well as demonstrating by example how a more participative and deliberative model of democracy can build a better Northern Ireland for everyone.
At this workshop participants will receive a briefing on the objectives of the programme and how it will work. They will also have an opportunity to share and explore ideas for projects with each other and with Community Foundation representatives.
