Urbanistas Cardiff and Women Making a Difference will team up to present an evening of quick-fire talks on 8 December.
Taking place at the Cardiff Story Museum, the Social Action Lightning Talks event will highlight female-led projects making a difference to local communities.
Presenters will get just 20 images and 400 seconds to showcase their visual story.
This ‘lightning talk’ format is meant to be a challenging but fun way to improve public speaking skills within a safe space says Joni Alexander, director of Women Making a Difference. “There’s clearly demand from women to improve their public speaking,” she adds.
Another key reason for the event is its partnership with British Council’s Active Citizens programme.
“We’ll have five international visitors at the event eager to learn about Welsh community based projects and campaigns,” explains Joni. “This is a great way of showcasing the work and hopefully inspires a few people too.”
The Equality Human Rights Commission report shows that more women held positions of power and influence in 2004 compared to 2014
