A Brittany-Wales day
Saturday 12th October 2019 from 10.30 in Guingamp
The ‘Institut de Documentation Bretonne et Européenne’ (IDBE), an association that works at safeguarding the written and iconographical heritage of Brittany and European minorities, organises every year a day for meetings-conferences on Europe.
This year, Wales has the place of honour thanks to the presence of Jill Evans, member of the European Parliament and of Plaid Cymru (the pro-European Welsh Nationalist Party).
The program is as follows:
10.30: Rendez-vous at Ti ar Vro (place du Champ au Roy, Guingamp).
10.45: Guided visit with commentary of Guingamp town.
12.00: Breton drinks provided.
12.30: A lunch of Crépes (€7 contribution requested).
14.00: Meeting with various writers.
16.00: Beginning of Conference*
18.00: End of Conference.
*The theme of our conference is ‘Brittany and Wales in a post Brexit Europe’.
In addition to Jill Evans, Aziliz Gouez, a research associate at the Jacues Delors Institute, and Alain Glon, founder and ex president of one of the largest agri businesses of Brittany and President of the Locarn Institute, will be our speakers. Erwan Fouéré, president of the IDBE and ex EU diplomat, will be the moderator, and Yves Mervin, writer, the presenter.
There will be a debate after the speeches for all questions relating to the theme and the latest developments concerning BREXIT.
