About:
How London Works is a programme of events run by London Civic Forum.
Goals:
The objective of the programme is to equip London’s citizens with the tools they need to influence the future shape of London.
Funders:
London Councils as part of the Your Voice, Your City programme
Timeline:
How London Works was launched in 2009 and will run until 2012.
Additional information:
The programme offers information about the politics, infrastructure, society and culture of the capital.
Guidance is often needed to navigate the multi-level jigsaw that makes up London’s democratic landscape, so the programme is designed to provide a series of events and resources containing information about how to get more involved in London’s political life.
The series of events provides opportunities for citizens to access London’s decision-makers and governing bodies, enabling those whose voices often aren’t heard to make an impact.
So far, events have been held at the former Government Office for London, the Greater London Authority, London Councils, City of London, the London 2012 delivery agencies (ODA, LOCOG and the LDA) and the London Assembly. The feedback from all the events has been extremely positive, from both participants and host organisations.
Our latest How London Works events include:
- How Education Works
- Health in London
- How London Assembly Works
