This conference is bringing together people with experience and
understanding to explore the three critical democratic concepts
of 'leadership', 'voice' and 'accountability'. The event will enable
participants to develop theoretical perspectives and reflect on their
practical experiences of extending democracy and participation of citizens,
users, local organisations and organisational members. It will provide an
arena to explore the day-to-day struggles with issues of leadership, with
finding our voice or enabling others to do so, and with the challenges of
democratic accountability.
