Democracy Day

NAVCA and OCVA are hosting a Democracy Day on 3rd March for:

• community and voluntary group members and individuals who are engaged in their community and want to learn more about how to influence decision makers
• people working in local infrastructure organisations (like OCVA or CVS)and public bodies who have a role in engaging with local citizens and promoting active citizenship
• people who expect to be taking on community leadership, development or teaching roles

The workshop aims to:

• develop an understanding of the voluntary and community sector and its role in supporting community engagement and participation
• provide an overview of how local people and organisations can influence national policy making
