<h2 id="header-0">Where you are – throughout May, June, and July 2023</h2>Plus:Tokyo, Japan – June 2023Edinburgh, Scotland – July 2023CIP-1694 marks the first iteration of Cardano’s on-chain governance. Given its importance, achieving broad consensus is vital as Cardano looks to the future. To make that happen, it’s equally important the community conducts its own governance discussions and events.The recent <a href="https://www.essentialcardano.io/video/cip-1694-community-workshop" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano governance workshop in Colorado</a> in early March, and a recap online event on the 30th of March, are good examples of this collaboration. Led by key contributors and thought leaders in the community, both workshops sparked deep engagement and insight gathering, capturing inputs from a broad spectrum of community interests and experiences. Participants engaged in a range of collaborative activities and discussions to refine and debate the on-chain governance system proposed in <a href="https://github.com/JaredCorduan/CIPs/blob/voltaire-v1/CIP-1694/README.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CIP-1694</a>. The workshops were productive, established a model for future community events, and highlighted the importance of collaboration and inclusivity in governance frameworks.The conversations on CIP-1694 thus far are only the start. Today, a grant program is opening up to support community workshops across May, June, and July 2023. The global community events will be punctuated by two workshops held in Tokyo, Japan, and Edinburgh, Scotland during June and July co-hosted by EMURGO and IOG. Edinburgh’s event in July will wrap up the year’s workshops and bookend the feedback loop on CIP-1694 design. Dates for each co-hosted event will be announced in early May.<h2 id="header-1">How can I get involved?</h2>There’s an open invitation for global community leaders and groups to run their own workshops, with financial support made available. This is your chance to bring Cardano and discussions on governance to your local community.

That being said, to maintain a broad representation of community groups, or if there are duplications (for example the same location for two or more events), we may request revisions to your application. We will not reject applications for being ambitious or wanting to reach wider audiences, but please bear in mind we may ask you to reconsider parts of your plan if there are multiple applications for the same location, etc.How long should the event be?If your proposed workshop is in-person, we expect it to be a full day. If virtual, 2-3 hours is recommended but this remains flexible. The key thing here is to capture valuable community input as effectively (and enjoyably!) as possible.How will financial support be provided?Financial support is available and will cover both virtual and in-person workshops. For every virtual workshop that is successful in its application, a payment of $500 will be awarded. For in-person workshops, this increases to $5,000 and will require evidence of venue hire and other associated costs. $5,000 is a cap, not a target, and a cost breakdown will be required as part of your application.Payments will be made post-event (for both virtual and in-person meets), however in some circumstances we may provide financial support earlier (for example to secure venues, etc). Your workshop outputs will be required as part of the criteria for your grant.Will IOG, the Cardano Foundation, and/or EMURGO representatives join workshops?Yes! But given the anticipated breadth of events, it will depend on location, date, and time. As a result, attendance by IOG, the Cardano Foundation, or EMURGO cannot be guaranteed. If your application is successful, and there is an opportunity for representatives to participate, they will confirm with hosts directly.When will the last event be held?The wrap-up event will be in Edinburgh in mid-July. Any community workshops must have been completed and shared their outputs at least 5 days prior.*This blog originally appears <a href="https://www.essentialcardano.io/article/cip-1694-community-workshops" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a> and has been re-posted for informational purposes.About EMURGO<ul><li>Official Homepage: <a href="https://emurgo.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">emurgo.io</a></li><li>Twitter (Global): <a href="https://twitter.com/emurgo_io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">&#64;EMURGO_io</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgFQ0hHuPO1QDcyP6t9KZTQ" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EMURGO channel</a></li><li>Discord: <a href="https://discord.com/invite/AWEp2SG437" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EMURGO Community</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/emurgo.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">&#64;EMURGO.io</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emurgo_io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">&#64;EMURGO_io</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/emurgo_io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">&#64;EMURGO_io</a></li></ul>
