Why should I participate?

As a participant in the Global GovJam, you will work through a whole design process in just two working days.  Whether you are experienced or completely new to the field, you won’t just be talking about creating or improving public services, you will be working with others on developing concrete ideas and designs which could become real.

Furthermore:

• You will learn more about a design-based approach to problems, and about public services.
• You will do something for others, helping the public sector to better understand the public – and vice versa.
• You will pick up a load of new ideas and work practices.
• You will meet a lot of cool people at all levels of experience.
• Your work and ideas will be reviewed by your peers, and presented to the world, where they can be seen by potential employers, or people who could make them real.
• You will design something that may become reality.
• You might get rich and famous.
• You will certainly have a blast.
