To address these questions, the notion of ‘open government’ will be introduced, including the work of Christian Bason, from Denmark’s MindLab, with students being asked to reflect on opportunities to increase public participation in the development of cultural policy.

The second half of the session will involve students working in small groups to further explore the various stages of the policy development cycle, with particular reference to a specific policy development challenge. Students will then engage in a facilitated discussion and feedback to the class their ideas and reflections on how each stage might be approached.
