A nationwide listening tour begins this month. See the dates near you, and bring the questions you want answered.

Beginning this month, the Unite Movement leadership is taking the conversation on the road. Twelve town halls, eight regions, one simple format: we listen first, then we answer.

The format

Each session runs ninety minutes. The first thirty are not a speech — they are a structured listening exercise, facilitated by a regional organiser, where attendees set the agenda. The next sixty are open Q&A with the chair and at least one member of the secretariat. No filtered questions. No screened audience.

We are deliberately holding these sessions in venues that are easy to reach without a car. Community halls, school assembly halls, mosque courtyards where the imam has agreed. If the venue near you isn't accessible, write to the secretariat and we will move it.

Dates and venues

The full schedule is on the events page. Every session is free to attend. Refreshments are provided. Children are welcome — we are arranging a quiet area at each venue for parents who need it. No registration required, but if you tell us you're coming we can plan seating better.

The best ideas in any campaign come from the room, not the stage. We're going to a lot of rooms this year.

What to bring

Bring a question. Bring a complaint. Bring a story from your neighbourhood that you think the leadership ought to hear. We are taking notes — and the notes feed directly into next month's policy review.

If you cannot make it in person, the chair's session at the Banjul venue will be live-streamed. Submit a question in advance through the contact form and we will work through as many as time allows.

This is not a press tour. It is a listening tour. See you there.
