Authenticating public consultation: Colleen Hardwick at TEDxBelfast

"There is a crisis in public consultation; people don't trust the process anymore." So says Colleen Hardwick. From Vancouver Canada, with family in Belfast, Colleen talks at TEDxBelfast in Titanic Belfast about tackling the "deep alienation between people and their governments" and how she is attempting to improve public consultation.

Colleen is an "Urban Geographer, Film Producer, Internet Entrepreneur."

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
