Events in Caerdydd 2024

Event for Learners at Sain Ffagan - 12 September! Save the date!

I am helping to organise a special event in Cardiff to celebrate Wythnos Dathlu Dysgu - following a suggestion from someone on the SSiW forum, as it happens! The BBC run tours around the main building in Cardiff, and I have persuaded them to run a special one for learners in conjunction with S4C. If it goes well, they will consider running them more often. There are two levels of tour (roughly Sylfaen and Canolradd/Uwch), and there’ll be a tutor on hand to support. I’ll be there too (unless Covid blights me again like it did at the Eisteddfod!) I would really love to meet some SSiW learners there :smile:

I’m just copying the booking link for the BBC tour here as it’s a bit hard to see in the poster:

Diolch!!

I’ll have one to share soon (today, hopefully) about an event happening in Carmarthen … but I’ll have a search to see if there’s a separate Carmarthen thread (and start one, if not)

I’m just bumping this, because I’ve heard that it’s selling fast and I don’t want SSiWers to miss out! There are more spaces on the Sylfaen/Canolradd tour than the Canolradd/Uwch one, so I would definitely encourage those more towards the beginning of their Welsh journey to book on.

And I can’t promise it will still be there, but at the moment there’s a Dr Who exhibition in the staff canteen with a Tardis and a Dalek and a load of costumes from the show…

There was also talk of dropping in to see Caryl Parry Jones in her studio before she goes on air.
