Thanks everyone who came to listen to our talk about "Share & Reuse by Design" at @sdingov.bsky.social ! It's great to start conversations with people from other departments who are as dedicated to normalising and enabling reuse as we are. <3

That was a fun session catching up with the German Justizministerium and digital team! Would love to do more sessions like this with other countries.
Singing my usual tune:

Thank you, international #GovDesign colleagues, for sharing openly!
🙇🏻‍♂️

Kindly, @nikolagoger.bsky.social, @mahnazy.bsky.social & co from UK Ministry of Justice share how they are staffed, do #serviceDesign & what responsibilities they have with their counterparts in Germany.
