Civil Servant 2.0

clipped from epractice.eu

That is why a few civil servants in the Netherlands started Civil Servant 2.0. What is Civil Servant 2.0? It is a network and online platform for civil servants (and others) to share ideas and experiences about the effect of 2.0 on their work but also to learn how to do their job more efficiently and interactively.

There’s a blog, a wiki and a networking site (all set up for free), but also a book, a four day course, biweekly meetings, a speakers’ network and spin offs that are concerned with lifehacking and Open Government.

But what’s most important, is that civil servants from all parts of government, and civilians, are coming together to discuss what the implications of web 2.0 are for government in general and for civil servants in particular. In the discussion forum they ask questions, in their blogs they relate about their experiences.
