Event Description

A free National Theatre Wales TEAM event, open to anybody

An evening for people to trade skills

Skills can be anything from your profession, such as photographer, to setting up Excel spreadsheets.

The event is designed to help us meet each other's needs without spending any money. Eg, you translate my programme to Welsh and I'll mix cocktails at your fundraiser.

There are 25 spaces available, so please contact us on skill-swap@hotmail.co.uk in order to book your space and for more info on the evening. Our deadline for applications for the next event is 10th March.

Everyone knows that money is tight at the moment - especially people trying to do creative work. We are constantly being told that money is needed to make work, but getting hold of any is so difficult. We would like to turn the tide on this and get back to a culture where people traded for goods or skills, not money. To start this, we are holding an event where people can trade skills with each other with no money changing hands. Maybe you are looking to get your next shows programmes in Welsh as well as English but can't afford to pay a translator. Or perhaps you are holding a fundraiser and could really do with someone to mix cocktails, but hiring a professional would cut into your donations. Well maybe you could trade your skills with another's. You translate my programme and I'll spend an hour mixing cocktails at your event. You win, I win, Art wins, no-one gets poorer!

On the night there will be a mix of people from all different creative professions with a whole host of skills to share. This isn't a formal evening; just a relaxed night in The Pot, having a drink and some pick-a-mix and finding out if we can help each other out a little more.

Join us on Wednesday 13th March at The Pot on Crwys Road. They have agreed to give everyone a 20% discount on drinks too, so come and grab a teapot of cocktail (or tea!) and get swapping! There are only 25 spaces available so email us on skill-swap@hotmail.co.uk to book your place. It's free!
