Jonathan Bradley | Practice Lead, Bang the Table, United Kingdom
Passion! I’m passionate about community engagement because we can’t change things at the macro level. Change happens in your local neighbourhood, town or city. No government is truly going to regulate Twitter and Facebook and undo the damage they have done to the public sphere and democracy. However, every time a council or other public body does a good online consultation it restores faith in democracy and public participation, it reignites participative democracy. It is at this level that I can make a difference, where change can happen.
