Hi all, I thought I’d write a short post inviting you along to the first meeting of The Peoples Think Tank (PTT).

Everybody is welcome to join us on 4^th April, 12 noon, at NTW offices, where we will talk about what the PTT can/should become and who should be involved, what else is happening in Wales and beyond, how the PTT can feed into or take inspiration from and what we would like to achieve.

Here is a little more about the PTT:

The People’s Think Tank is an interdisciplinary group of problem-solvers; artists, NTW TEAM members, members of the communities of Wales

The Think Tank’s aims are to:

• give a collective voice for the people of Wales, around issues of democracy and politics, arts and culture;
• pursue tangible outcomes from the Big Democracy Project;
• encourage a new collective voice; and to
• help shape the next phase of The Big Democracy Project.

They will do this by:

• working within the Big Democracy Project to listen and contribute to conversation;
• learning, analysing, and sharing ideas online;
• holding periodical online debates;
• presenting some of their findings to the National Assembly in March 2016;
• react to government policy, proposals, papers and recommendations; and
• influencing the direction of the Big Democracy Project;

If you’d like to join the People’s Think Tank, please contact Gavin Porter at gavinporter@nationaltheatrewales.org or 02920 353 070.

There’s no criteria – anyone can become a member, anywhere in Wales.
