The Coleg commissioned behaviour change agency Claremont to create the Behaviour Change Implementation Pack. The pack is intended to provide guidance and advice to practitioners who work with learners who are in the process of making decisions about their education.  Together we can help prospective students to make informed decisions about their next steps when studying through the medium of Welsh at university. The video below provides an overview of the pack including: How to understand our audience The barriers and motivations that influence students' decisions about studying through the medium of Welsh The messaging strategies that can help reduce uncertainty, build confidence and demonstrate the benefits of studying through the medium of Welsh.

This is a podcast in Welsh that is a little different from the usual, and which – as the title suggests – tackles some of life's big questions. The podcast is funded by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, and the series is presented by Dr Huw Williams, a reader in Philosophy at Cardiff University, who holds lively and witty conversations with various friends, including experts and some leading Welsh academics.  The premise of the series is that we all reflect on profound issues that are part of everyday life, and discussing and reflecting on these themes is a healthy and important thing. The talks present the discussions through the medium of everyday language in an accessible way; It should appeal to 6th form learners, university students, and other adults who have no prior knowledge of the subjects in question.  So join us (and also get ready for a little trip to Roswell...)! The series, with original music, is produced by Osian Gwynedd.
