Can you think of a way to stimulate public discussion?

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Building Democracy Programme has £150K available to develop about 10 projects that will use innovative approaches to help stimulate public debate.

MoJ is following MySociety’s approach by inviting potential bidders to float their initial ideas online and to strengthen their proposals through open discussion before making a final submission.

It will be interesting to see if this open collaborative approach can work in the setting of a Government-sponsored site.

The deadline for submissions is 26th September 08.
