Event: Participatory Budgeting & Open Government

Thursday, 16th August 2018
Cosla offices, Haymarket, Edinburgh

Share your ideas about how PB can help government, nationally and locally, work better for its people.

This free informal workshop, organised by Scottish Government, COSLA and Open Government Network & PB Scotland, will ask how participatory budgeting can help make government in Scotland more open, transparent and accountable. Using your experiences of PB, we’ll ask:

  • What actions can help take PB further?
  • How can PB enable more people to be involved in developing public services?
  • How can it be used more effectively to guide how public money is spent?

Come along and learn more about open government and the Open Government Partnership, meet the team and discuss your views and ideas about how we can make government work better for Scotland.
