From public transport to healthcare to education, citizens are impacted directly every day by government policies and services — making them government's most important stakeholder.

It’s clear that, in order to run successful services, engaging citizens throughout the process is essential.

Join this free online workshop to learn about how effective citizen engagement can elevate public services, and what meaningful citizen engagement looks like. You’ll explore how to make it a priority, and the steps you need to take to put it into practice.

Who should watch:

This workshop is for any public servant or policymaker who wants to learn more about why citizen engagement matters and how to engage with citizens, whether you work in a citizen-facing role or not.
