Llongyfarchiadau mawr to the children at Y Bont!

We’re so happy that they chose to create a map for their Eisteddfod entry and even more thrilled for their success and opportunity to exhibit their work at the Eisteddfod.

Da iawn. Rili hyfryd.

A privilege to share our work at the ‘A Healthier, Wealthier, and Fairer Wales’ conference today.

Lovely to meet lots of people committed, like us, to exploring ways to engage inclusively and where children’s rights and social justice are central to a hopeful future.

Calling all community groups on Ynys Môn!

Our project is rooted in Cymru. The idea stemmed from our wonderful colleagues at Cyngor Ynys Môn and further developed with them.

There’s a reason why the island is known as Gwlad y Medra and is the perfect place to pilot our innovative approaches.

On Iona in Scotland & happened upon a fascinating & very educational presentation by @ionanamescape.bsky.social to a full house in the community centre. Amazing map resource of historic multilingual place names, like us funded by AHRC. Also interesting example of a publicly accessible database.
