Over the next few weeks, this site will carry a number of posts outlining some of the themes that will come up in the Political Innovation Camp (PICamp) strand of NESTA’s Reboot Britain event, taking place on the 6th July 2009 in central London.
I’m hoping that the event will cover a wide range of themes, ranging from
- how we can take Tim Davies ’50 hurdles’ idea and look at ways that public organisations of all kinds can be encouraged to address them
- what will policymaking look like in the future?
- how ‘hyperlocal’ communities work – how local government can interface with them and whether they are always a good thing in the first place
- defending inactive citizens from the activists
- reinstating the claim of local government to be the main agent in solving local problems
Nothing is final yet, and all of these (and more) will be fleshed out in the coming weeks over on the PICamp site.
In the meantime, make sure you don’t miss out. Tickets are here.
A blog about representative democracy, social media and a conversational politics. How will peer-to-peer communications change local democracy? How is representation changing?
