Hat tip: From: "Delib" <newslet...@delib.net> Date: Feb 1, 2017 8:52 AM Subject: GovCamp, jobs and digital democracy tips To: <cl...@publicus.net> Cc: Digital Democracy Digest from Delib – February 2017 View this email in your browser <http://us6.campaign-archive2.com/?u=0db979b12b2655d09ffcfdbe8&id=128e5659ea&e=d0055ee217> [image: Digital Democracy Digest from Delib] <http://delib.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=0db979b12b2655d09ffcfdbe8&id=ef8aa9e34b&e=d0055ee217> February 2017 The headlines may have been dominated by a couple of rather, er, high-profile international policies in recent days. But, as we know, there are still – always – hundreds of other important decisions being taken at all levels of government all the time (check out ~10,000 examples on our Aggregator <http://delib.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=0db979b12b2655d09ffcfdbe8&id=54ebd4d83b&e=d0055ee217>, for instance). Public participation matters there, too – and, of course, we want to see it done well. So here's this month's bunch of insights and practical tips on effective community engagement, plus our regular round-up of interesting-looking public sector jobs. Enjoy!
