SUMMARY:Digital Solutions Hub - Stakeholder Workshops
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of these workshops is to understand potential users needs around accessing and using environmental and earth science data and integrating this with other social\, economic\, environmental and health data. \n\n\nAbout this event: \n\n\n\nWe are looking to speak with anyone who has an interest in finding\, accessing and using earth science or environmental data to support their work. You don’t need to be a ‘data person’ but you might be. \n\nWe’re interested to learn what challenges you face in finding\, accessing and using this kind of data\, what value there is for you in this kind of data and what support you might need to make the most of this kind of data in your work. \nThese online workshops are the beginning of our user research and there will be further opportunities to engage in future workshops (both online and in person) to shape this exciting project. \n\nFind out more and register here.

SUMMARY:Join a 'legislative theatre' to help shape people's rights on the streets of Trafford
DESCRIPTION:Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt unsafe in the streets\, parks\, or transport in Trafford or anywhere in Greater Manchester? If you want to tackle gendered violence and make our public spaces safer and more welcoming for women\, girls\, and all residents? If you wish you had more power to change the rules in Trafford and GM? \nPart of the Right to the Streets Project with Trafford Council and GreaterSport\, this event is being led by a group of north Trafford young people and adults who’ve been building a play that reflects their lived experiences with safety in parks\, on public transport\, near schools\, on the roads\, and more. They invite you to join them for a fun and lively Legislative Theatre event – to change the rules together! \nWhat is Legislative Theatre?  \nIn Legislative Theatre\, audiences and policymakers watch a play based on the community actors’ experiences with oppressive policies and practices. Then\, audiences act onstage to rehearse ways to confront the problems presented\, and test new policies in real time. Actors and audiences propose ideas for new laws\, rules and policies to address the problems\, working together with advocates\, organisers\, and government representatives. Finally\, we vote on new rules\, and policymakers commit to immediate actions. \nWhat to expect \nThis event will appeal to people interested in participatory approaches to making change in their community\, and anyone interested in public space and active lives\, whether you’re a young person\, adult\, community advocate\, policymaker\, or all of the above. \nDuring the Legislative Theatre process\, we will #WatchActProposeVote\, lasting roughly three hours\, but we will give you breaks and promise a tasty meal and dessert to celebrate at the end of the voting! \nFor dietary requirements and any questions\, please contact Katy at katy@katyrubin.com. Follow @righttothestreets_ on Instagram for more updates \n\nBook your free spot here.

SUMMARY:Putting people first in AI - what we've learnt
DESCRIPTION:A lunchtime online event to share what we have learnt about giving the public a say in the use of automated decision-making systems. Including launching a new set of principles created in partnership with people across Greater Manchester. \nAt this event we will share a set of principles for embedding public engagement around the use of automated decision-making systems in Greater Manchester’s public sector. These principles have been crafted based on people’s generous input through workshops held earlier in the year and we will also share what we’ve learnt along the way. \nWe also hope to bring together some other speakers who will share examples of similar work done elsewhere. \nWe will finish by collectively discussing how to encourage uptake of these principles and make them something sustainble. \nAnyone interested in this topic is very welcome. \nYou can sign up here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/opendatamanchestercic/1108980
