Main event | Tickets | Workshops | Talks | Participants
Do you want to write a different future for our local democracy? It’s fair to say that lots of us are going through some significant changes. Things have happened in all our lives and communities that were not in our script. But the future of our democracy is not yet written – and we can each be part of writing that story, everyday. Notwestminster is about finding the people, ideas and energy we need, so that we can grow our shared understanding of what our democracy can be, and where we can find practical ways of working together to improve our lives and local places.
If you’re up for the challenge of renewing our democracy, please join us for a day of workshops, quick-fire talks, conversations and inspiration in Huddersfield. Notwestminster is a free event and everyone is welcome to take part. All we ask is that you are interested in making our local democracy better, and willing to do something to make it happen.
