The aim of the 'Celf a Dylunio ar y Map’ is to offer a unique opportunity for Welsh-medium Art and Design students to come together in one place to share and discuss their work and to benefit from the experience of artists and others who work in the industry. The students also get involved in exploring a specific location and responding creatively to that location and to a brief. This year the location was Swansea and the theme of the festival was 'The Ugly and Lovely’.  Three Arts Practitioners were invited to the festival this year to share their arts journey, Kath Ashill, Rhian Jones and Vivien Roule. The videos provided here provide a flavour of the festival additionally they provide an insight to the enterprise of arts practitioners and their journeys in the art world.  

Two online workshops for students studying A Level or Level 2/3 exams in Sociology. The first Workshop is on the theme of 'Research Skills' and the second workshop on the theme of 'Inequality'. The Workshops are led by lecturers from Bangor and Cardiff universities.

Pūtahitanga:  te reo Māori (in the Māori language) which describes a community coming together to work together on a specific idea, topic or challenge. The word embodies the ethos of the research project that uses it as a title: The Pūtahitanga Project. This is a project that explores popular music, language and identity in the Welsh and Māori contexts. As part of the project, Dr Elen Ifan from Cardiff University received an Innovation Grant from the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to hold workshops in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Wales with musicians who use Māori and Welsh in their work. This resource shares clips from the workshop in Cardiff and includes activities to involve you in our research as well. It is mainly designed for higher education students, but it is also relevant to anyone interested in Welsh popular music and the worksheet is suitable for AS and A level as well. The project essentially aims to find connections between the experiences of musicians who use two minority languages ​​(Welsh and te reo (the language) Māori), trying to understand the various challenges facing these musical communities , but without directly comparing. The project uses creative research methods and involves audiences in the research. This resource forms part of that work. The video files include a presentation by the lead researcher and clips from a workshop held in Cardiff in November 2023. The worksheet guides the person using the resource through the activities, encourages them to engage with the themes of the project, to think about what is relevant or important to them, and invites creative responses to the research.
