Urban Party Dublin
In 2011 Motti and Paul initiated the URBAN PARTY – TALKING CITIES platform, which has since been hosted in Dublin (Complex Theatre , Smithfield2011), Tel Aviv (Port Authority 2012) and Jerusalem (Museum on the Seam 2012 – Part of “open House Jerusalem Programme”) and once again in Dublin as part of the Beyond Pebbledash Project (National Museum Collins Barracks 2014)
Our format is simple and engaging. Each speaker is requested to speak for just 3 minutes. Thus over one hour and in rapid succession each of the 20 invited speakers articulate their vision on opportunities and challenges of living in Dublin City.
At a challenging time for our City and Country, the Urban Party provides an opportune platform or political soapbox to lobby our new government on the way forward for Dublin.
