Open Local Government: Greater Belfast Workshop
NI Open Government Network
The Open Local Government project will see the Northern Ireland Open Government Network (NIOGN) hosting a series of virtual workshops across NI, inviting groups and individuals to identify open government issues that affect them. Ultimately, the purpose of the project is to boost the health and effectiveness of local democracy by breaking down barriers to transparency, accountability and participation. You can read more about the project here.
Click here to register for the workshop on Eventbrite.
After the workshops are complete, NIOGN will select two campaigns identified from the workshops to support over the next year.
To prepare for the workshop, we ask you to think of at least one barrier to open local government that you or your organisation has experienced, as these will form the main discussion for the session.
With attendees spanning the voluntary sector, the general public and statutory bodies, it will be a great way to engage with local issues and connect with participants in your area.
If you have any queries or would like to discuss the workshops further, please get in touch with NIOGN by emailing [email protected]. We hope you will join us to work on open government issues together.

National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties. While the electricity powering lighting and appliances is decarbonising fast, the majority of homes still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water and cooking. This course will provide an introduction to the role domestic scale renewable technologies can play in reducing carbon emissions. It will provide a non-technical explanation of how the technologies work, the factors to consider when installing these technologies, costings, potential carbon savings and their advantages and drawbacks.- - -
