June Teacamp – GDPR is an opportunity with @jacquitaylorfb

Hopefully you have all survived the May Storms and kept dry from all the Thunder, Lightening and torrential rain, and then of course GDPR came along.

It never rains but it pours…..

How many emails about GDPR did you get? I’m betting it was at least one or two, or three hundred or more……

If it was anything like me, it was inbox meltdown and literally shouting at my inbox and telling it to piss off whilst hitting the delete button furiously!

There were so many pointless emails sent out under the guise of GDPR, that folks were quite right in getting a tad bit confused by it all.

But have no fear, this month we are lucky to have Jacqui Taylor from FlyingBinary to talk to us about GDPR, and bust through all those annoying myths.

 

GDPR Is an opportunity!

In this months Teacamp talk,  Jacqui will give you the backdrop to the new regulation mandated on 25th May 2018.

She will be mythbusting and cutting through the white noise around GDPR. With a focus on both National and Local government and what it means for you, sharing her experience in European based work since 2014.

Most of all she wants to answer your questions tweet her @jacquitaylorfb or chime in on the day. A session not to be missed from a European Security and Privacy expert.

May Teacamp – Anthony Zacharzewski, Brexit, Europe, Open Gov and Connecting Citizens

Anthony runs the Democratic Society, who work with central and local government on citizen participation and civic engagement. They’ve been big supporters of digital consultation over the years, writing a report (with Snook) for GDS on that topic last year. They’re currently working in Scotland on digital PB, with the Council of Europe and the European Commission on international citizen participation, and with the Serbian government on digital participation.

 

Anthony moved to Brussels in July, and has been running Demsoc from there while working on their European projects, but he’s back in England for Teacamp. He’s going to talk about a a project that’s just starting on connecting up cities around Europe that want to work together to develop citizen participation, but he’s also happy to answer questions about Brexit, and how it looks from the EU end.

 

He’s also happy to talk about open policy making and open government, although he left the Civil Service so long ago that Tony Blair was Prime Minister and not a potential parliamentary candidate. He did sit on the Open Government Partnership UK steering group for three years, though.
