Digital Dialogues 3

A third phase of Digital Dialogues will take place over 2007 – 2008. Our case study sample in Phase Three will consist of up to six government agencies, departments and ministerial offices. Case study owners will be undertaking a programme of public engagement around development of a policy area – at the design, implementation or review stages.

Digital Dialogues is particularly interested in innovative processes and tools. It is envisaged that case study owners will make use of technology or combinations of technology that have not previously been used by government in an engagement context.
The data and learning generated through Digital Dialogues will undoubtedly benefit central government; it will also provide valuable comparative research for other institutions interested in improving their own public engagement. For the public it will present an instructive insight into the workings of key political institutions and generate a better understanding of the scope for democratic renewal and their power as active citizens on- and offline.
