Yes Breizh think tanks

The role of think tanks

The think tanks analyse the realities of Brittany as they are: housing, health, languages, purchasing power, safety, the environment, institutions and the economy.

They shed light on the facts that some public officials play down, that some media ignore, or that some parties reduce to slogans.

They structure this work in a demanding approach: clear methodology, factual analyses, consensual decisions and measurable action plans.

Reflection committees

Why join a committee?

Joining a committee means making a direct contribution to understanding Brittany and its future.

Your skills, experience or interest become useful for analysis, discussion and solutions.

You'll be helping to build a credible, well-argued and realistic Breton project.

How do our committees work?

Each committee follows a precise method: collect referenced facts, analyse, discuss, decide and then draw up an action plan.

Each plan includes: sourced findings, proposed measures, timetable, those responsible (maximum two) and result indicators.

The actions are implemented, evaluated each year and adjusted to ensure continuous progress.
