Open government is a global movement centred around people coming together to explore how the relationship between communities and government can be more open, participatory, inclusive, and accountable.
SCDC has supported this latest co-creation process, working with partners to hear community perspectives around trust in government. We also worked to bring together third and public sector colleagues to discuss the themes of the next Open Government Action Plan.
Held during Open Government Week, this event will be a chance to learn about the design and delivery of the co-creation process, as colleagues reflect on engaging with equalities and lived experience organisations, and wider civil society.
We will also hear from Scotland’s Civil Society Chair and Scottish Government’s Open Government team about their vision for Action Plan 2026 - 2030.
