'Seiniau Uchel, Carbon Isel' is a project lead by Bangor Univeristy in partnership with Pontio and M-SParc, and sponsored by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. They have organised a musical/video performance that will be streamed live on an AM channel. As part of the project, pianist and composer Tristian Evans will perform the 30-minute multi-media work ‘Dŵr, Haul, Gwynt, Golau’. Adopting the process of recycling in a creative context, Tristian Evans weaves together old religious tunes, archive visual material, Biblical texts and youth voices in two multimedia works for piano that respond to the climate crisis. Dŵr, Haul, Gwynt, Golau (Water, Sun, Wind, Light) integrates environmental words and visual materials created by young people that coincide with the piano score. Tir (Creadigaeth/Etifeddiaeth) (Land (Creation/Legacy)) responds to the notion of creation and legacy of the earth with Biblical references, in addition to exploring the pianist’s agricultural roots on Anglesey during the nineteenth century. The performance will last approximately half an hour on 25 November 2020 (19:30) Click below for further information

Huw L. Williams, 'Y Llwybr tuag at Heddwch Parhaol: John Rawls a’r Athrawiaeth Rhyfel Cyfiawn'
John Rawls’s just war doctrine is primarily interpreted as an elaboration of Walzer’s theory. However, when considered in light of Rawls’s Kantian commitments and the utopian nature of his reflections on international relations in The Law of Peoples, his perspective on just war is distinctive and challenging. This Kantian influence leads to a nuanced doctrine with a commitment to peace as the regulative principle of war, characterised as principles of transitional justice that are never fully just. A sceptical perspective emerges that rejects extending the just war doctrine to humanitarian warfare. The Rawlsian statesman would be a dove, rather than a hawk, committed to the belief that war is an evil to be avoided and overcome, and that universal peace should be aspired to.
'Ar Frys' Fideos - using welsh in public service jobs.
These videos highlight the experience of seven people working in important but stressful jobs, who see the benefit of being able to speak to people in Welsh. If you're following a Public Service or Healthcare course, then you'll learn how to deal with the public - especially in an emergency or danger situation. By using both English and Welsh, you give the person in crisis the choice to speak the language they are most comfortable speaking. As a result, you will perform your work to a higher standard. These videos were produced by Coleg Cambria.
