Meetup #7 — Filling the gaps

Public sector organisations don’t always manage to do what people expect them to. Sometimes, engaged members of civic society step in to fill the gaps. They develop offerings federal, state, or municipality governments could have created instead. Individuals or small teams then run and operate public services—in their personal time, without funding, and sometimes against the resistance of public bodies.

In our November meetup, we want to hear from a few engaged individuals who stepped in and responded to the needs of the public.

• Lilith Wittmann, bund.dev
• Nicolas Bouliane, All About Berlin
• [Pending]

The federal government’s DigitalService is hosting the meetup at its Kreuzberg office’s top floor with rooftop access.

All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised either in English or German.

The event is jointly organised and hosted by CityLAB Berlin and DigitalService.
