Online event: Big Decisions, Local Voices: Participatory Budgeting at Scale
/Monday, 16 February 26, 10am to 12.00pm - online
PB Scotland invites you to an online Participatory Budgeting event focused on PB at scale. Join us as we explore how large-scale PB processes can drive significant community-led investment and empower residents to shape priorities that matter most.
We’ll have a contribution from the Scottish Government and hear presentations from Dundee Council - Neighbourhood Capital Fund and Just Transitions North East multiyear investment programme which have successfully implemented large-scale PB initiatives in Scotland.
These PB programmes have delivered substantial funding for community initiatives and ensured that local people are directly involved in the process, from supporting organisations to submit project ideas to local people casting their votes.
This event is your opportunity to:
Learn how large-scale PB works in practice.
Understand where mainstream PB budgets come from.
Learning more about community involvement and support for PB.
Reflect on lessons from these innovative approaches.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of the conversation about scaling up participatory budgeting and making democracy real for local people.
