For forty years Wales has been part of the European Union. But what has been the effect of EU membership on the development of Welsh culture?

What would Dylan Thomas have made of it, and what would he have made of Swansea missing out on the UK City of Culture title last year? How can the country’s cultural values not only survive but thrive in an increasingly globalised world?

In view of the upcoming European elections in May, the European Parliament Information Office in the UK invites you to come and debate these issues with prominent panelists from the worlds of education, politics and literature. Join us for what promises to be a thought provoking evening.
