Break the rules, change the world.
“Pirates didn’t just break the rules, they rewrote them. They didn't just reject society, they reinvented it. Pirates didn’t just challenge the status-quo, they changed everyf*ckingthing. Facing a self-interested establishment, a broken system, industrial-scale disruption and an uncertain future, pirates rebelled against an unfair world and change it for good. Now, you can follow in their footsteps.”
Sam Conniff Allende, author of bestselling Be More Pirate is coming to Swansea to make pirates of us all in a one-off workshop on Thursday 28th March at the former Happy Home Furnishers shop on Castle Street. This workshop will help us to build our own Pirate Code and show us ways to leave our mark on the 21st century. Be More Pirate unveils the innovative strategies of Golden Age pirates, drawing parallels between the tactics and teachings of legends like Henry Morgan and Blackbeard with modern rebels, like Elon Musk, Malala and Banksy. If we don't like the world we see around us, the onus is on us to change it. 
Whatever your ambitions, ideas and challenges, Be More Pirate has revolutionised the way people live, think and work today, and tomorrow. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet likeminded pirates and see how we can join together to stage a mutiny. 
Sam is a multi-award-winning serial entrepreneur, with 10 successful start-ups to his name, including the Bafta Winning content agency; Don’t Panic, the genre defining interactive TV Series Dubplate Drama; and the industry leading Creative Youth Network; Livity.
He is also the bestselling author of Be More Pirate, out on Penguin in the UK, and Simon &amp; Schuster in the US. He’s a consultant to brands from Red Bull to Roald Dahl as well as governments, think tanks and policy makers. 
The workshop is free to attend but spaces must be pre-booked. Doors open 6:30pm for a 7pm start. The workshop will finish 9pm. A pop-up bar will be selling beer, cider, wine and soft drinks. Bring yourself, bring your team, bring your rebellion.
This workshop is the first in a series of new events and activities called 51.6 - focusing on what we can accomplish when creativity, knowledge, enterprise and the passion and commitment of people to make a difference all come together. 
51.6 is an Urban Foundry project.
