Durham CC video on using PB for mainstream budget consultation

In 2013 Durham County Council were facing some tough financial decisions. So they developed a simple interactive board game to involve citizens in these difficult debates.

Using a successful round of participatory budgeting distribution days, that helped Durham win recognition as a model of best practice in community engagement, featured in the Municipal Journal.

They asked some of the 11,000 participants at those events to play the game. This video shows how it worked.
