Representatives of the Arts Council of Wales’ pioneering Creative learning through the arts programme are on their way to India. During the next two weeks, they will be sharing the lessons of the past 4 years with teachers from all parts of India as guests of the educational Agastya International Foundation.

During the first week of their stay, Siân James, Creative learning through the arts Programme Manager, Daniel Trivedy, Regional Officer for Creative learning through the arts, and artist, Jên Angharad will work with the Agastya Foundation to tailor the programme to the Indian context. During the second week, Daniel and Jên will train 100 teachers from across India in the key principles of the programme.

Siân James, commenting today, before stepping on an aeroplane to Mumbai, said:

“Since being launched in 2015, the Creative learning through the arts Programme has galvanised schools across Wales through its Lead Creative Schools and All Wales Arts and Education offer to make the arts – in all its breadth – central to the entire school curriculum. It is great that we’re now able to share what we’ve learnt with other countries and even other continents”.

Diane Hebb, Director Arts (Engagement) for the Arts Council of Wales said:

“It is wonderful that this pioneering scheme, which has had such an impact on schools across Wales,  is now attracting international attention, and that we’re being invited to share the programme with other countries. This visit to India is a great opportunity to demonstrate how the arts can be used to teach the whole range of school subjects and make learning exciting and fun for pupils of all school age.”

Mae cynrychiolwyr rhaglen arloesol Dysgu creadigol trwy’r celfyddydau Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru ar eu ffordd i India. Dros y pythefnos nesaf, byddant yn rhannu gwersi’r pedair blynedd diwethaf gydag athrawon o bob rhan o India fel gwesteion sefydliad addysgiadol Agastya International.

Yn ystod wythnos gyntaf eu arhosiad bydd, Siân James, Rheolwr Rhaglen Dysgu creadigol trwy’r celfyddydau, Daniel Trivedy, Swyddog Rhanbarthol Dysgu creadigol trwy’r celfyddydau, a’r artist, Jên Angharad yn gweithio gyda Sefydliad Agastya i deilwra’r rhaglen i’r cyd-destun yn India. Yn ystod yr ail wythnos yn bydd Daniel a Jên yn hyfforddi 100 o athrawon o bob cwr o India  yn egwyddorion allweddol y rhaglen.

Gan siarad heddiw, cyn camu ar yr awyren i Mumbai dywedodd Siân James:

“Ers ei lansio yn 2015, mae’r rhaglen Dysgu creadigol trwy’r celfyddydau wedi ysbrydoli ysgolion led-led Cymru trwy ei Ysgolion Creadigol Arweiniol a’i Raglen Celfyddydau ac Addysg Cymru Gyfan er mwyn gwneud y celfyddydau – yn ei ystyr ehangaf – yn ganolog i gwricwlwm cyfan ysgolion. Gwych o beth yw ein bod nawr, yn medru rhannu’r hyn yr ydym wedi ei ddysgu gyda gwledydd, a hyd yn oed gyfandiroedd, eraill”.

Dywedodd Diane Hebb, Cyfarwyddwr Celfyddydau (Estyn Allan) Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru:

“Mae’n fendigedig bod y cynllun arloesol hwn, sydd wedi cael y fath effaith ar ysgolion ar draws Cymru,  bellach yn denu sylw rhyngwladol, a’n bod yn cael gwahoddiad i rannu’r rhaglen â gwledydd eraill. Mae’r ymweliad hwn ag India yn gyfle heb ei ail i ddangos sut y gall y celfyddydau gael eu defnyddio i ddysgu pynciau ar draws cwricwlwm ysgolion, a gwneud dysgu yn gyffrous a yn hwyl i ddisgyblion o bob oedran ysgol.”
