 My Trip to Europe: Derek Alton's Weeknotes - June 15th
 Derek Alton / Partnerships Team / June 15, 2018
 7 minute read


Inspired by my time with Dan Barrett and the Weeknotes Meetup in London, I am going to try doing my own Weeknotes.
What are Weeknotes? A written summary of your weeks’ work and publishing externally so others can see, learn and engage. Lindsey Green wrote a great blog about it — give it a read.


I want to quickly note that this is my own personal thoughts and reflections on this trip and not an official communication of the Government of Canada.


Ok, here it goes…


During the first week of June, I had the opportunity to do an exploratory trip to France and the UK to learn more about their work around digital government and civic tech. The goals of the trip were:

  • Network Building: Strengthen connection between the Digital Collaboration Division and the growing international network working to change government
  • Knowledge Sharing: Share the vision of the Open and Accessible Digital Workspace and learn from the experiences of international colleagues
  • Find Potential Partners: Identify people and groups interested in working together
