Ambition

Gwern Gwynfil, acting Director of New Wales/Cymru Newydd said: "Wales needs more people talking constructively, confidently and with ambition for the future of our nation. Too often we constrain ourselves in a civic culture which combines blaming the British government for all our ills with resignation to our fate as a subservient ‘region’ of the UK state.

"We must change this narrative. We must talk about all the possibilities for Wales in depth, with vigour, and on an informed basis. As we formulate that collective, cross-party, confident, vision for our country we can then move on to actively removing the obstructions to making it happen. New Wales will be open to ideas from every quarter.

"New Wales’ objective is to bring together Welsh citizens from across our nation and the global diaspora. Everyone must be involved in the conversation of how we move from ‘that’s just the way it is’ to ‘this is our vision for Wales, let’s make it happen.

"We hope that New Wales will be just one voice amongst many, albeit a very loud one, pushing all of us in Wales towards a better, brighter future - with robust knowledge, with vigorous and widespread debate and discussion, with a determination to see our nation prosper and flourish, and with ambition, bravery and confidence in ourselves and our place in the wider world as citizens of Wales."

Tickets to attend the launch are free and are available here.
