The Peoples Think Tank

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;

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;

I've written a post asking who I/You/we should vote for and I'd love to hear who you are voting for, or not.

Hi Everyone,

This Saturday, before the General Election, I will be doing a participatory artwork called DEMOCRACY in Newport. I am looking for a couple more volunteers to engage people in conversations about democracy. Please email me if you'd like to get involved - reessara@hotmail.com   Thank you :)

Yes, it's a shame the finished version isn't touring in Wales - maybe it will do the rounds again.

Interestingly, that Coney show is one that NTW was involved in the development of.

Comment by Alison Neighbour on April 23, 2015 at 20:36

Hi everyone, if you get the chance you should go and see Coney's show Early Days of Better Nation http://coneyhq.org/2014/09/12/early-days-of-a-better-nation-2/ - it's a really interesting opportunity to have a go at being a leader yourself, and also weighs up the issues of different types of leadership/democracy, and how to fix a country. It's 100% interactive and on the night I saw it people were more passionately involved than I have ever seen in a theatre before. It's not touring in Wales but if you can travel to one of the venues it's well worth it.

Liberland - Man sets up his own libertarian nation.

A new country has been established (seriously) and its motto is 'To live and let live'.
