Singing the Sun in Flight
Event #3 – Children and Young People
11.30 am – 1.30 pm
The Senedd, Cardiff Bay
This was the third in a programme of nine events at the Senedd buildings called Dihuno’r Dychymyg | Singing the Sun in Flight. The series celebrates all things poetic, and raising the profile of poetry and spoken word at the home of Welsh democracy.
The free event on 16 July focused on Children and Young People, and was sponsored by Dawn Bowden MS, Deputy Minister for Arts & Sport, and Chief Whip.
A lifelong passion for literature and creative writing can be sparked by intervention early in life. Working within the education system – from early years to university – as well as beyond the classroom, Literature Wales aims to stimulate the interest and curiosity of children and young people in creative writing and reading. Our two flagship projects, the Children’s Laureate Wales and Bardd Plant Cymru, advocate for the rights of children and young people as well as supporting them to respond creatively to social issues that are important to them.
