ENNYN

During the pandemic, arts education company ENNYN CIC & the PONT Dolau Dyfi project worked with schools and community groups in the Dyfi Biosphere on a series of activities and events. These incorporated music, poetry, visual art, storytelling, theraputic movement and walks, with a focus on wildflowers and their place in Welsh culture and tradition.

 

The project has culminated in an illustrated  book, 'Three Short Walks of the Dyfi Biosphere', which includes local stories, observations and wildflower illustrations. The book can be downloaded here. The above digital map links to different elements of the project including:

​

Films of the community event 'The World of Wild Flowers'; two school walks; Margaret Jones Llanbrynmair discussing traditional uses of plants and local stories

​

Audio of local myths and legends of Dinas Mawddwy; Owen Shiers performing 'Y Border Bach' (a poem by Crwys) arranged to music for the Dolau Dyfi project

We would like to thank everyone across the generations who generously shared their expertise, passion for nature and knowledge of local stories, traditions and wildlife.
