Urbanistas Cardiff<\/a> and Women Making a Difference<\/a>\u00a0will team up to present an evening of quick-fire\u00a0talks on 8 December.<\/p>\n

Taking place at the Cardiff Story Museum, the Social Action Lightning Talks<\/a> event will highlight female-led projects making a difference to local communities.<\/p>\n

Presenters will get just 20 images and 400 seconds to showcase their visual story.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, director of Women Making a Difference.\u00a0\u201cThere’s clearly demand from women to improve their public speaking,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Another key reason for the event is its partnership with British Council’s Active Citizens<\/a> programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ll have five international visitors at the event eager to learn about Welsh community based projects and campaigns,”\u00a0explains Joni. “This is a great way of showcasing the work and hopefully inspires a few people too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Equality Human Rights Commission report shows that more women held positions of power and influence in 2004 compared to 2014\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
