  • What Happy Museum Has Achieved Since Its Launch in 2011
    Happy Museum (HM) stimulates and supports museum practice that places wellbeing within an environmental and future-facing frame, rethinking museums’ role in creating more resilient people, places and planet. Through academic research, thought leadership, peer networking, advocacy, training and action, HM works directly with over 70 UK museums and impacted many more through events and an online presence which stretches globally. The Community of Practice’s vision for HM is of: A space to experiment with museum practice, through principles of care, inclusion and collaboration, in a critical time of change. What Happy Museum has achieved since its launch in 2011 Since 2011, and with investment from PHF, ACE, CyMAL and the Wales Federation of Museums, HM has: Funded creative interventions in 22 museumsi leading to individual development and organisational change (2011 - 14).

Initial Stakeholder Planning Discussions 3. Roles of CyMAL: Museums, Archives and Libraries Wales and the Heritage Lottery Fund 4. The First World War Centenary Programme Board 5. The View beyond Wales 6. The Discussion Framework 1 Updated in July 2013 1. Introduction 1.1 The next few years will see a particular public focus on the commemoration of the First World War. This was a period of history that had an impact on every town, village and community across Wales with the loss of so many young men. Organisations throughout the nation are already considering how they can tell the stories of such a turbulent time. 1.2 The Welsh Government has instigated a stakeholder discussion on the planning process for First World War commemorations. The aim will be to reach as many individuals, groups, communities and organisations which have an interest in taking part in their own commemorations or working in partnership to develop joint activities. 1.3 Carwyn Jones AM, First Minister, has appointed Prof Sir Deian Hopkin to advise him and the Government on how Wales should prepare an appropriate and interesting framework of commemorative activities, exhibitions and events which will result in a lasting digital legacy for Wales. 2.

  • An Unintended Community in the Welsh Hinterland
    AN UNINTENDED COMMUNITY IN THE WELSH HINTERLAND Networks, Lifestyles, Relationships David Frost 2 An Unintended Community in the Welsh Hinterland - Networks, Lifestyles, Relationships Starting in the late 1970s, not long after I joined the urban exodus that saw significant inward migration to rural Wales, I kept a file of notes and observations on the situation and experiences of those around me who had moved to West Wales. Thirty years on, at the turn of the millennium, I made a summary and in this paper I discuss the main social trends that I identified at the time, adding additional and more recent material. Migration and social networks My earliest observation was that the migrants had come from many different, overwhelmingly urban, places and I pondered the reasons why they had moved to Wales; and whether, having assembled themselves in the hinterlands of Machynlleth, Aberystwyth, Tregaron, Aberaeron and Cardigan, they had become a community, albeit a loose-knit and spatially dispersed one. One reason for their migration seemed to be the persistence of the rural idyll, a romantic yearning for an idealised countryside, which I examined in my article for the Organic Grower Magazine, “Mud on the Tracks” (2016). Part of the rural idyll is the notion of community, and many writers have contrasted the community life of rural society with the supposedly atomised life of urban society. My search of the literature on rural communities led me to the conclusion however, that our 1970s migration to West Wales was a variant of what sociologists call intentional communities, which are also known as utopian communities.

  • The Relationship Between Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman Settlements and Metallurgy on the Atlantic Fringe
    The Relationship between Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman Settlements and Metallurgy on the Atlantic Fringe Keith Haylock BSc Department of Geography and Earth Sciences Supervisors Professor John Grattan, Professor Henry Lamb and Dr Toby Driver Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the award of degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Aberystwyth University 2015 0 Abstract This thesis presents geochemical records of metalliferous enrichment of soils and isotope analysis of metal finds at Iron Age and Romano-British period settlements in North Ceredigion, Mid Wales, UK. The research sets out to explore whether North Ceredigion’s Iron Age sites had similar metal-production functions to other sites along the Atlantic fringe. Six sites were surveyed using portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF), a previously unused method in the archaeology of Mid Wales. Also tested was the pXRF (Niton XLt700 pXRF) with regard to how environmentally driven matrix effects may alter its in situ analyses results. Portable x-ray fluorescence was further used to analyse testing a range of certified reference materials (CRM) and site samples to assess target elements (Pb, Cu, Zn and Fe) for comparative accuracy and precision against Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for both in situ and laboratory sampling. At Castell Grogwynion, one of the Iron Age sites surveyed recorded > 20 times Pb enrichment compared to back ground values of 110 ppm. Further geophysical surveys confirmed that high dipolar signals correlated to the pXRF Pb hotspots were similar to other known Iron Age and Roman period smelting sites, but the subsequent excavation only unearthed broken pottery and other waste midden development.

  • Happy Museum Press Release 3Rd Round
    PRESS RELEASE HAPPY MUSEUM The groundbreaking Happy Museum announces a third round of awards as part of a wider programme funded by Arts Council England’s Renaissance Strategic support fund and CyMAL, Wales. 10 museums and galleries from England and Wales have been selected to show how museums can support the transition to a high well-being, sustainable society - bringing the total of Happy Museum Commissions to 22. Launched in April 2011, the Happy Museum ProJect is a pioneering programme that looks at how museums in the UK can build links between sustainability and well-being to leave a legacy of long- term cultural change within their organisations and communities. An initial first round of six awards in 2011, followed by another six in 2012, demonstrated that the Happy Museum Manifesto was in step with the increasing number of academics, economists, psychologists and ecologists in identifying the vital linkage between sustainability and wellbeing. The practical work of the Happy Museum commissions helps to shed light on how thinking of these two issues in conJunction might offer the key to providing a better future. This third phase of Happy Museum commissions is launched with awards of over £100,000 and explores how museums build deeper dialogues with their local communities; engaging young people in understanding science, climate change and sustainability; strengthening community resilience through combining comedy and heritage; a community co-designing and ‘fitting-out’ the ground floor of a Silk Mill; inspiring children with creative play and craft; making an abbey a place that encourages environmental good practice and wellbeing and promoting social enterprise through traditional crafts.
