The Day Before | 12 June 2024
The Creative Bureaucracy Festival is pleased to host the second edition of the Global Government Innovators Forum and the third get-together of aspiring creative bureaucrats at the Young Bureaucrats Event on 12 June 2024 in Berlin.
Global Government Innovators Forum | Berlin
We’re excited to announce the return of our Global Government Innovators Forum for its second edition.
This pre-festival event gathers many of our international festival speakers who are joining us in Berlin from their various corners of the world specifically for this year’s event. Following an ‘unconference’ format, it provides a space for collective sensemaking, where participants collaboratively shape the agenda and exchange insights from their diverse realms of practice.
The evening will then transition into festivities at our speakers reception, where we’ll welcome all festival speakers, partners, and collaborators to raise a glass in celebration of the festival.
Young Bureaucrats Event | Berlin
The Young Bureaucrats Event provides a platform for invited young creatives to shape the public sector of tomorrow.
Fifty young talents will have the opportunity to network, receive input and participate in workshops focused on new perspectives for the future of the public sector. Following the workshops, attendees can mingle, network, and enjoy drinks and snacks together!
From a "no, because" to a "yes, if culture" – the Creative Bureaucracy Festival aims to strengthen the reputation of public administration and appeal to creative young people in particular. Together with PD – Berater der öffentlichen Hand, we will invite the next generation of administrative innovators to an exclusive event in Berlin.
