Day two

Day 2: Friday 21 October 2016
UK PB Network 'fringe conference'

Under the strap-line “Here we are all citizens” the UK PB networks ‘fringe conference’ took place Friday 21st October at three separate venues in central Edinburgh.

On day two, the related UK PB Network’s ‘fringe conference’ took place, featuring a wide range of workshops and discussion groups, held at three closely situated venues, all within central Edinburgh.

It was a mini-festival of ideas, inspired by the global democratic phenomena called Participatory Budgeting and explored a more thoughtful approach to creating a stronger and more participatory democracy:

• ‘Engage’ as equal citizens, of Scotland, of Europe and the world.
• ‘Think’ about how we are going to build a more democratic society.
• ‘Do’ democracy more fairly, more openly, and more effectively.
