SPEAKER: Dr. Simon Brooks
In Partnership with the London Welsh Centre and Wales in London
We’re honoured to welcome Dr Simon Brooks as our next guest in the Wales Matters series on Wednesday 11th June.
Simon is one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary Welsh public life. A historian, policy adviser, academic and author, he is currently Chair of the Commission for Welsh-speaking Communities, appointed by the Welsh Government to make recommendations for the long-term strategy for the language in both Wales and its diaspora.
In this talk, Simon will look beyond the headlines of the second homes debate—offering a nuanced, reflective take on what has been achieved, what implementation looks like on the ground, and what challenges remain. What does the future hold for Welsh-speaking communities, both at home and abroad? And what can be learned from the way this urgent issue has been tackled so far?
Join us for an evening of ideas, insight and open discussion at the heart of the London Welsh community.
