15 Minute Heritage Grant!
Posted: 04/01/2022 by Caroline Welch
We are thrilled to announce we’ve been awarded #15MinuteHeritage funding to train and support young people to create bilingual films and digital gaming apps of Bishops Park and Carmarthenshire Museums!
The project, called – ‘Parc yr Esgob Hanes a Chof: Capturing, Digitising and Sharing our Stories’, will deliver much-needed young people-centred interpretation on site and on-line, focussing on people’s history, climate change and biodiversity.
It will stimulate creative learning, the development of new transferable skills and cross-curricular knowledge, engaging young people more deeply with the heritage on their doorstep. Thank you so much to @HeritageFundCYM and @Cadw.
