This session is now sold out, but you can join our next training session on 22nd August 2018 via this link

For the first time ever, we're running a group training session at our offices in central Bristol. Taking place on Thursday 5 July, it will be a hands-on day running from 10am until 4pm where attendees from multiple organisations can learn the fundamentals of designing and building excellent online consultations using Citizen Space.

Anyone who uses Citizen Space is invited to attend. This is the first opportunity for trainees to book individual places at a centralised session on a price-per-head basis, rather than needing to arrange a dedicated on-site training day at your organisation's offices, so don't miss out!

As well as giving attendees a solid grounding in using Citizen Space, the day will be an opportunity to meet people from other similar organisations who also work in public and stakeholder consultation (plus the Delib team!)

You can read more details and sign up to attend via this Eventbrite page. Please also feel free to share the event page with anyone from your organisation who's keen to get up to speed with using Citizen Space.

For this first session we've got seven places available and we'll be allocating them on a first-come-first-served basis. If you miss out on a place on this session but are still interested in attending a centralised training session, please let us know via info@delib.net in case we can look at arranging another date.

What you will need to bring

You will need a laptop or tablet so that you can use an Internet browser, as Citizen Space is accessed via your browser. Please contact us via info@delib.net if you don't have your own computer you can bring with you as we will have a small number of spares available.

We'll have sample consultations you can build if need be, but you'll get more out of the session if you have material to work from which is relevant to your job and organisation. Therefore please bring details and content (i.e. draft introduction text & questions) for a consultation that you'd like to build.

Lunch will be provided so please let us know when you book your ticket if you have any dietary requirements.
