Dear all, We have roughly 4 weeks to go to the first ever global Open Gov Week. Slowly, events start lining up: webinars (e.g. on inclusion, health, natural resources), virtual fireside chats with our OGP ambassadors Helen Clark, national co-creation events and IRM launches. A warm call on all of you to make sure civil society also initiates and partners on many activities, especially nationally and locally. Italy had over 300 events this year in their second national Open Gov Week <http://open.gov.it/it/saa2018/>, and civil society played a key role in it. Get you thinking caps on and initiate co-creation events to shape the civil society asks, organize hackathons to really open up that government data you asked for, invite your neighbours to discuss why open government principles should also matter to them (alcohol allowed). Be as creative as you want to be, but help us make this a global conversation with national (tr)action.
