Hi there!
The bigger event can't happen yet - there needs to be a bit more
development on the stake and shareholder front and also more
development of the strategic context that would provide opportunities
for effective legacy. Also, the date of an opportunity to discuss an
event with the community collegiately has had to be delayed.
However, it would be useful to this work - and also the British
Council - for a small scale 'seed' event to take place in the near
term.
I have been discussing this offline with Tom Beardshaw, Carl and the
British Council and, as a bit of a seedbed, we are planning to run a
small workshop on 09th October that will provide a surgery for a small
group of 16-18 yr olds from a large local Secondary School and a bit
of one-to-one for Butetown.org and some of the people they are linked
with.
This will *not* take place in the Butetown area but adjacent to an
exhibition currently on show in Cardiff City Centre.
Once we have evaluated the value of this, won some further feedback
and fed this back here, I suspect we will be in a position to build
the right environment for a larger community-driven and community-
needs-driven exercise.
We'll upload an agenda over the next few days. And report back on how
things go on the 9th.
