[Digital-Mentor] Tender is open for Digital Mentors!

[Michael Grimes]

Dear All,

Just to say that the Citizenship Foundation is keen to be involved in a bid.
Our interest is in tooling people up to be effective citizens: showing them
that they can have a voice, how the systems (political, legal, etc) work,
why those systems are there and how to influence them, dialogue skills, etc.
We do not feel able to coordinate the project, but are keen to help shape
the model.
Echoing Stuart, will anyone else on this list be at the workshop on
the 19th<http://www.communities.gov.uk/communities/communityempowerment/whatweare/digitalmentors/tenderinivation/>
?
Best wishes,
Michael
