  • The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding?
    The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding? David Howell Vol.8 2013 International Journal of Intangible Heritage 103 The ICH of Wales The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding? David Howell Lecturer, History department, University of Wales, Newport. ABSTRACT In the last decade, appearances of the Mari Lwyd have steadily increased during winter time in Wales. A tradition based around the decoration of a horse’s skull, regulated competitive verse and song, and community integration, would in many other parts of the world be acknowledged and celebrated as intangible cultural heritage. Yet, while the number of nations to have ratified the UNESCO Convention on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage continues to grow on an annual basis, no such examples can be found in Wales however, or any other part of the United Kingdom, due to a continuing position of reticence from the Westminster government toward the convention. Does this lack of ratification indicate that Wales is not home to any examples of intangible cultural heritage? This article explores the notion of whether Wales is home to any valid forms of intangible cultural heritage, before challenging whether the same vulnerability seen in many of the international examples of intangible heritage can be illustrated in Wales. Ultimately this will argue that Welsh intangible cultural heritage is an important, living component of contemporary Welsh culture, and that UK ratification of the treaty, rather than being something that might be desired in Wales, should in fact be considered as a necessity. Keywords Mari Lwyd, Christmas traditions, Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru (EGC), or the National Eisteddfod of Wales, Super Furry Animals (SFA), Welsh culture, competition, language festival, step-dancing, revivals.

    Cyngor Addysgu Cyffredinol Cymru General Teaching Council for Wales ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 Contents page Foreword by the Chairperson Executive summary Introduction Planning the Council’s activities Objective 1: To maintain and promote the highest standards of professional conduct and practice Objective 2: To provide an independent, representative and authoritative voice for the profession on teaching issues Objective 3: To foster reflective practice and professional development in teaching Objective 4: To communicate the positive contribution of the teaching profession to society Objective 5: To provide efficient, effective and robust finance, personnel and administrative systems that support the delivery and communication of the Council’s objectives Objective 6: To contribute to the arrangements to reconfigure the GTCW as a new professional body for the wider education workforce Council membership and member attendance at Council and Committee Meetings Summary Financial Statements Notes to the accounts Foreword by the Chairperson Dear colleague, This is the penultimate annual report of the General Teaching Council for Wales which I am very pleased to introduce. The Council in its present form as the statutory professional regulatory body for school teachers will soon have an extended remit. From April 2015, we will be a reconfigured and renamed Council – the Education Workforce Council – which will also register and regulate teachers in Further Education, and, from the following year, learning support staff in schools and Further Education. The Council will then be responsible for some 70,000 education practitioners - almost double the current number of registrants. This development makes a great deal of sense in the context of the range of adults found supporting the work of teachers in schools and the learning pathways open to 14-19 year olds.

  • Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee National Assembly for Wales
    INTRODUCTION As Wales‟ national centre for the performing arts we welcome this opportunity to provide evidence to the Committee‟s Inquiry. Attached with this document is a copy of our last Annual Review 2010-2011 and the Annual Review of Free and Participative Activity 2010-2011, both of which highlight how the Centre is extending people‟s horizons, and enriching lives through participation in arts activity. These publications form part of our submitted evidence. In this submission we wish to demonstrate how we deliver against one of our key founding objectives, which forms part of our Strategic Plan 2010-2015, approved by Welsh Government and the Arts Council of Wales, which is to be A place for people of all ages, background and experience to learn about and participate in the arts. This objective also mirrors the strategic priority of the Welsh Government, as outlined in „One Wales,’ which is to ensure that „high-quality cultural experiences are available to all people, irrespective of where they live or their background.‟ It also reflects the ambitions of the Arts Council of Wales through its draft Strategic Equality Plan. From the outset the vision for the Centre was that it was to be more than a place for people who could afford to buy a ticket. As the inscription on the front of the building states so eloquently In these stones horizons sing; in other words it is place where people‟s horizons are extended through the arts, and that means participating and engaging in arts activity as well as watching a performance.
