Transparency is a cornerstone of democracy. Thanks to the Open Government Act (Woo), anyone can request government information. However, in practice this is often complicated.
SPOON helps citizens, journalists and civil society organisations to effectively exercise their right to information. By sharing knowledge, providing advice and developing training courses, SPOON aims to make it easier to request and use government information.
With their new Training & Advice branch, they not only strengthen the skills of individuals and organisations, but also contribute to a broader culture of openness and trust in the government.
