Cymru Ni | Our Wales Workshop Outline

  • Key stages: 3
  • Workshop delivered in: English, Welsh or bilingually
  • Regional availability: Cardiff and surrounding areas

The tagline for Nia workshops is: “when I’m most myself…”/ “pan fi’n teimlo fel fi…”. In this workshop, Nia will guide students through writing exercises about their heritage, passions, likes and dislikes, before ending on a poem-writing exercise about the acts that make them feel the most at home in themselves. This workshop will focus on self-expression and empowerment, and will give students a sense of pride in their identity.
