Platform for Change is holding a series of hustings to facilitate dialogue between candidates and the wider public in the run-up to the Assembly elections. A panel of speakers from the various political parties will be invited to debate questions and comments from the floor at each of the events.

We believe that the pre-election campaign should be focused on substantive policy issues in areas such as social inclusion, sustainable development, and a shared future. Our hustings are open to everyone – there is no need to register for any of the events. We also invite you to submit comments and questions in advance to

contact@platformforchange.net
