Topline Request<\/strong>: \u00a0We are looking for 6 two-person designer\/developer teams\u00a0to join The Governance Lab’s Summit on Making Engagement Work at New York\u00a0University to help design real solutions to drive citizen engagement in\u00a0government<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: \u00a0April 18th, 2013<\/p>\n

What<\/strong>: \u00a0Create mockups and\/or prototypes of the platforms designed at each\u00a0of six design charrettes (see attached program).

About The GovLab<\/strong>: \u00a0Funded by grants from the John D. and Catherine T.\u00a0MacArthur Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and\u00a0housed at New York University with a network of partners, the Governance\u00a0Lab (GovLab) designs and implements technology-enabled solutions that\u00a0advance a collaborative, networked approach to reinventing traditional\u00a0institutions of governance to the end of improving the quality of people\u2019s\u00a0lives. Our work is predicated on two hypotheses:<\/p>\n

– Institutions that govern themselves more collaboratively solve\u00a0problems faster and with greater success.
\n– Greater engagement leads to more legitimate democratic governance and\u00a0also to better solutions for citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
