Imagine Wales. And when you've done that – pictured it, heard it, enjoyed it, read about it, celebrated it – try to think of our country without song, the spoken word on stage and screen, without poetry and novels, and dance and sculptures and ceramics and paintings and images, and all of the living traditions that are making our contemporary culture so potentially dynamic. In raw fact, as well as in our imagination, there’s no human Wales without Art, just as there’s no Heritage to pass on generation by generation without Creativity. Much the same could be said about our Media. The Arts Council of Wales and the Media 2. The Arts Council of Wales is the country’s funding and development agency for the arts. We are a Welsh Government Sponsored Body and a charitably constituted organisation. We also have a relationship with the UK Government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport because we distribute funding from the National Lottery. 3. Our relationship with the Media in Wales has many facets: as a distributor of public funds our activities are often the focus of media scrutiny as a campaigning charity we try to persuade the media to do more to promote the profile of the arts in Wales as an investor of funds into the cultural sector we are contributing to the development of the wider creative industries in Wales (of which the media are a key part) However, we are also concerned with wider cultural issues – creativity, identity and diversity – fertile territory within which the media in Wales operate.

    Two years to make a difference in Welsh Healthcare 2008-2010 1000 Lives Campaign reaches aim of saving 1,000 lives The Campaign is estimating that 1,199 additional lives have been saved by NHS staff in Wales between April 2008 and April 2010. Every health board and trust was involved in the Campaign, working on up to seven key content areas. These include reducing healthcare associated infections and surgical complications, and improving critical care and medicines management. The Campaign has used a new measurement tool which has enabled organisations to identify where harm occurs. This represents the first time harm has been measured on a national level and is to be the subject of a major four year research study.

  • Why Study Through the Medium of Welsh? It’S a Competitive Workplace! Give Yourself the Best Opportunity - Study Through the Medium of Welsh!
    Why study through the medium of Welsh? It’s a competitive workplace! Give yourself the best opportunity - study through the medium of Welsh! The best education When you leave school or college, continuing to study through the medium of Welsh will give you the best education. There are opportunities for students who are confident and fluent in the language as well as opportunities for those who are less confident or are learners. There is something that will suit everyone: from degree courses which are completely through the medium of Welsh to courses where some modules are offered in Welsh, or in some departments it is possible to have Welsh language seminars and tutorials for modules which are mainly taught through the medium of English. You have a right to present coursework and sit exams through the medium of Welsh, even if you have chosen to complete courses through the medium of English. By continuing to study your course completely or partly through the medium of Welsh, you will develop your skills in two languages _ Welsh and English _ which will open doors for you when you leave the university. The best teaching methods A number of the latest teaching methods are used to teach Swansea University’s Welsh- medium modules which include multimedia teaching materials, video conferencing, residential courses, hands-on sessions which are organised by professionals and online resources. These support more traditional learning methods such as attending lectures and the library. Swansea University has an excellent teaching space dedicated for Welsh-medium education, thanks to our partnership with the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.

    THE MEDIAEVAL ACADEMY OF AMERICA PUBLICATION No. 57 GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH VARIANT VERSION OF HIS HISTORIA REGUM BRITANNIAE GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH HISTORIA REGUM BRITANNIAE A VARIANT VERSION EDITED FROM MANUSCRIPTS BY JACOB HAMMER HUNTER COLLEGE THE MEDIAEVAL ACADEMY OF AMERICA CAMBRIDGE 38, MASSACHUSETTS 1951 The publication of this book was made possible by grants of funds to the Academy from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the Institute for Advanced Study, and an Anonymous Donor COPYRIGHT BY THE MEDIAEVAL ACADEMY OF AMERICA 1951 Printed in U.S.A. TO E. A. LOWE AND THE MEMORY OF ERNST RIESS PREFACE In 1927 Professor Chambers wrote: Critical work on the manuscripts (of Geoffrey of Monmouth) is still in its infancy, and in these circumstances speculation as to the original form of the Historia and any revision which it may have undergone can only be tentative.1 Two years later, in 1929, two editions of Geoffrey appeared,2 which constitute a real advance over the older, uncritical editions. The present edition which offers the first critical text of a Variant Version of the Historia, based on manuscripts that hitherto passed under the name of Geoffrey, is only another step in this advance. It represents the first fruits of an investigation undertaken many years ago and is preliminary to a critical edition of the Historia, based on all manuscripts known to scholars, the larger portion of which (135 in actual numbers) has already been col- lated. A task of this scope could not have been undertaken without outside assistance. It was thanks to the generous grants (and publication sub- vention) from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies that it was possible to visit the various libraries of Europe and collect the material necessary for the project.

Progress Report – Year 2 This document is also available in Welsh. © Crown copyright 2019 WG36648 Digital ISBN 978 1 78964 921 5 Contents Introduction and overview 1 Key Messages 1 Next Steps 3 Annex A 4 ii Introduction and overview The Welsh Government launched the Follow-on Strategic Framework More than just words… for Welsh Language Services in Health, Social Services and Social Care in March 2016 www.gov.wales/topics/ health/publications/health/guidance/words/?skip=1&lang=en. At the heart of the framework is the concept that being able to use your own language is an integral part of care. The three-year action plan, that forms part of the document, contains actions that should be implemented during 2016-19. In order to measure progress updates were received from lead organisations on the actions for 2017-2018 contained in the follow-on framework. An overview of the progress against each action is provided in Annex A. Given that year 1 actions lay the foundation for subsequent years, the organisations were also asked to report back on some of the key actions not fully implemented in 2016-17. The progress reports on implementing the 2017-18 requirements of More than just words… indicated that much had been achieved against a number of the actions and that there were pockets of good practice. There is still evidence that progress is not being consistently made across all bodies and services and that further work is being planned, with regard to some of the actions to build on the progress that has been made to date.

  • Elis Gruffydd and Welsh Identity in the Sixteenth Century
    ELIS GRUFFYDD AND WELSH IDENTITY IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY by ANN DOBBS RILEY-ADAMS A thesis submitted to the graduate faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY University of Central Oklahoma Summer, 2018 i ii THESIS SUMMARY DOCUMENT 1. Statement of Problem or Issue: In 1552, Welsh soldier and chronicler Elis Gruffydd (c.1490-c.1552) completed a 2500-folio manuscript, which is little known and rarely studied. Its obscurity belies its importance. This document can tell us much about Welsh opposition to Tudor policies in the British Isles, an often-overlooked subject; his experience as Europe transitioned from the Middle Ages to the Early Modern era; and writing as a form of resistance, a subject receiving little scholarly attention prior to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. 2. Brief Summary of the Literature: Less than ten percent of Elis’s “Chronicle” has been published. The vast majority of scholarly attention on the manuscript has been focused on the medieval aspects; for example, Ceridwen Lloyd- Morgan, Patrick Ford, and Amy Mulligan have researched the Taliesin, Merlin, and Arthurian sections of the “Chronicle.” Jerry Hunter has published several works on the Tudor part of the “Chronicle,” most recently in 2000. One challenge scholars face is that the document is written in Middle Welsh, making it difficult to read for most. The scholars named above are all linguists and Celticists and their interest may be a product of the text’s language. Their studies of the “Chronicle” have examined Elis’s work in terms of the sources that were available to him (Lloyd-Morgan), the archaic linguistic forms and tropes preserved in the text (Ford), the common themes between Celtic and biblical narratives (Mulligan), the chronicle format (Hunter), and Elis’s interpretations as court narratives (Hunter).
