Wales and Other Cultures – Making Meaningful Links with Literature

Overview

Our Welsh curriculum and LLC AoLE have a strong focus on developing strong and meaningful links with our Welsh Heritage and Culture. It also focuses on deepening knowledge and understanding of our identity and local culture as well as different cultures, with an emphasis on empathy.

This 1 hour training session aimed at primary practitioners will explore:

• How we can deepen our provision using resources set in and around Wales, the local area and the wider world.

• Key literature from around Wales, in particular literature in English written by Welsh authors or set in and around Wales.

• Suggested stimuli set in other cultures including fiction and non -fiction.

• Examples of activities or core tasks that might be used with the suggested stimuli.

• There will also be opportunities for discussion and reflection, as well as to share ideas and thinking.
