Good news from Cardiff Metropolitan University Below.

We have funding from Welsh government to run six foundational economy workshops across Wales.

In phase one, we held scoping meetings with public and third sector organisations to identify the challenges faced and develop plans for the workshops.

We’ve used contributions and suggestions from the scoping meetings to create the content for our Understanding Foundational Economy Principles Workshops.

We’re pleased to announce the following dates for the workshops:

• South East Wales: Cardiff, 23^rd May 2023 – Butetown Community Centre, 9:30-13:30 

• South West Wales: Kidwelly, 6^th June 2023 – John Burns Centre, 9:30-13:30 
• South East Wales: Cardiff, 14^th June 2023 – Butetown Community Centre, 9:30-13:30

Please be aware that this is an in-person workshop.

Who is this session for?

Anyone working in the public or third sector who is interested to learn how to incorporate statutory frameworks and concepts like Wales Future Generations Act, Foundational Economy, Community Wealth Building, Circular Economy and Social Value into their policies, processes and practices.

Why should you attend?

During this session, we will introduce the above concepts and discuss where they overlap and/or differ. We'll discuss barriers to implementing foundational economy and how to overcome them without creating more workload. This session is aimed at people who are overwhelmed by the above concepts and don't know where to start.

Cost

Attendance of the half-day workshop is free. We will finish with a buffet lunch and networking.

Please do share with contacts and colleagues you think may be interested in the workshops.  We look forward to seeing you there!

If you have any questions, please contact me or Jill (JRDavies(at)cardiffmet.ac.uk).  

Thanks, and best wishes | Diolch a chofion gorau
