SUMMARY:Building our own Elder Care Services in Wales
DESCRIPTION:Co-operative Social Care Workshop \nAn ageing population and a squeeze on Local Authority budgets challenge us all to find new ways to provide care and support for older people.Private commercial provision is not the only alternative. Co-operatives have a long tradition in Wales and we can now develop a co-operative model for social care. Service users\, service providers and local community stakeholders could all be members in a Social Co-operative. This is a model for the provision of social services which is well established in other parts of the world including Quebec and Italy. It provides the affordable quality services people need whilst also protecting workers and community interests.International expert John Restakis (past Executive Director\, British Columbia Co-operative Association) will be discussing the National Co-op Elder Care Project being developed with support from the Canadian Federal Government and using a social franchising model. Also\, come to learn about work being undertaken in Newport to establish the first UK social care co-operative.It may help participants to better understand this model of enterprise if they check out the member-controlled Enterprise website at: http://s.coop/1bcyi \nNumbers are limited and attendance will be confirmed before 25 June to help secure a balanced audience. Please register your interest at http://progressive-cooperators.org.uk/event-reservationParticipants are strongly recommended to read evidence presented to the Welsh Co-operative and Mutuals Commission. You can read this and other documents on the website\, and comment on them there. The comments or questions thereby made can be made known in advance to the organisers.http://progressive-cooperators.org.uk/event-reservation/papers-for-1st-julyA workshop report can be made available for £15.For further information email: David_smith45@tiscali.co.uk or telephone (01633) 266781.

SUMMARY:Why do pictures matter?
DESCRIPTION:IWA Coffee Shop Debate @ Chapter \nFor two hundred years it was a received wisdom\, handed down by highest authorities\, that Wales was devoid of a visual culture. Welsh people were\, for some unspecified reason\, congenitally unvisual. Beginning in the 1980s\, Peter Lord sought to demonstrate how this notion could be understood as an aspect of a broader cultural imperialism. It didn’t make him popular with the establishment. When a debate was organised at Chapter in 1992 to discuss the policies of the Art Department of the National Museum\, the Director contacted the police and the Crown Prosecution Service in an attempt to stop the event. A cartoon appeared in the Bulletin of the Welsh Academy\, showing a gibbet erected at the front of the Museum: ‘I’ve heard there’s going to be a hanging …’ Twenty one years later\, Peter Lord returns to Chapter to continue the broader debate. In his new book\, Relationships with Pictures: An Oblique Autobiography\, he discusses why pictures matter\, in terms of the networks of human relationships within which they are made\, and through which they affect our lives. This event is free to attend. To confirm your place please email events@iwa.org.uk  or call 029 2066 0820.
