Participatory Budgeting in a Digital World

Following a highly popular event earlier in the year, this online learning event will explore digital approaches to participatory budgeting (PB), including input from contributors who have experience of using these tools, and some who have hosted events online during the pandemic. 

As we emerge from Covid19 it is increasingly clear that PB has a role to play in engaging communities to be involved in important decisions about priorities.  For many communities and practitioners this will have to take place mainly through digital approaches to meet our continued commitment to PB.  

During the event we’ll hear from Renfrewshire Council, Gorbals Ideas Fund and Glasgow Disability Alliance about their experiences of engaging people digitally during the pandemic.

There will be plenty of opportunities for discussion and participants will learn more about:

• How to plan a digital PB process.

• What tools are available and suitable for PB

• What are the opportunities and challenges for digital PB

• Thinking about equalities

• Holding an online decision event/process.

Please note that places are limited. We’ll confirm you place before the event.
