Back in 2014, GLP-W was set the

ambitious target of engaging with half

the schools in Wales so it’s pleasing to

be able to report that we have now

reached 45% of schools.

We are very much looking forward to

continuing to work with those familiar

with the programme as well as

reaching out to new schools before the

programme comes to an end in July

this year.

If you are new to GLP-W, why not start

by having a look at the many

resources and tools freely available on

our website? We recommend you

register your school – this will give you

the option of undertaking a short

Yn ôl yn 2014,cafodd RhDB-Cymru y

dasg uchelgeisiol o ymgysylltu â

hanner yr holl ysgolion yng Nghymru,

felly mae’n bleser dweud ein bod wedi

cyrraedd 45% o ysgolion erbyn nawr.

Yr ydym yn edrych ymlaen yn fawr at

barhau i weithio â’r rheiny sy’n

gyfarwydd â’r rhaglen yn ogystal â

gallu cyrraedd ysgolion newydd cyn

daw’r rhaglen i ben ym mis Gorffennaf

eleni.

Os nad ydych yn gyfarwydd â RhDB-

Cymru, beth am ddechrau drwy

edrych ar yr offer ac adnoddau lu sydd

ar gael yn rhad ac am ddim ar ein

gwefan? Awgrymwn eich bod yn

online audit of global learning as well

as help us to keep you informed of

forthcoming opportunities and relevant

resources.

y ffordd a’r adnoddau perthnasol.

Global Learning Projects

We were thrilled with the response to our recent call for applications to develop global learning through school projects and would like to thank all who submitted

these. We received over 50 proposals which made for a difficult job for the selection panel but, after much consideration, 17 projects were chosen for funding. These include schools from all over Wales and from every sector.  Find out more

Prosiectau Byd-eang

Yr oeddwn wrth ein bodd â’r ymateb a gawsom i’n galwad diweddar am geisiadau i ddatblygu dysgu  byd-eang drwy brosiectau ysgol a hoffem ddiolch i bawb a gyflwynodd y rhain.Cawsom fwy na 50 cynllun a wnaeth gwaith y panel dethol yn anodd ond wedi dwys ystyriaeth, dewiswyd 17 prosiect am gyllid. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys ysgolion o bob cwr o Gymru ac o bob sector. Cewch wybod mwy fan hyn.

Marking Holocaust Memorial Day  Year 10 and 11 pupils from twelve Carmarthenshire secondary schools came together at Neuadd Y Gwendraeth on January 26th to remember the Holocaust and subsequent genocides. The event was organised by the local authority and supported by GLP-W.

Thanks to a live webcast transmitted by the Holocaust Education Trust, pupils were able to hear the moving testimony of Janine Webber who shared her experience of the hardships of being a Jewish girl growing up in Poland during the war.

Pupils participated in workshops led by Holocaust Education Trust and Wales for Peace. These were designed to further their knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust, help them engage with some challenging ethical dilemmas, and consider what actions they could take now as individuals and as a school to combat prejudice and racism.

Organisers were impressed with the pupils’ response to the event which took the form of postcards in keeping with this year’s theme “The Power of Words”:

“It was enlightening to hear about the experience of someone who had never been in a concentration camp and to learn about the destructive impact of poverty as well as of the acts of violence carried out. We have learnt that even small acts of resistance can make a difference and should never be overlooked.”

Nodi Diwrnod Cofio'r Holocost Daeth disgyblion Bl 10 ac 11 o ddeuddeg ysgol uwchradd Sir Gaerfyrddin ynghyd yn Neuadd y Gwendraeth ar y 26ain o Ionawr er mwyn cofio’r Holocost a’r hil-laddiadau eraill a ddilynodd. Trefnwyd y digwyddiad gan yr awdurdod lleol â chefnogaeth RhDB - Cymru. 

Diolch i ddarllediad byw gan Ymddiriedolaeth Addysg yr Holocost, yr oedd disgyblion yn gallu clywed tystiolaeth dorcalonnus Janine Webber a rannodd ei phrofiad o’r adfyd o fod yn ferch Iddewig ifanc a gafodd ei magu yng Ngwlad Pwyl yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd. 

Cymerodd disgyblion ran mewn gweithdai a arweiniwyd gan Ymddiriedolaeth Addysg yr Holocost a Chymru dros Heddwch.Cynlluniwyd y rhain er mwyn ymestyn eu gwybodaeth a’u dealltwriaeth o’r Holocost, eu helpu i fynd i’r afael a rhai dilemâu moesegol anodd ac i ystyried pa gamau y gallent eu cymryd nawr fel unigolion ac fel ysgolion er mwyn brwydro yn erbyn rhagfarn a hiliaeth   Trawyd y trefnwyr gan ymateb y disgyblion i’r digwyddiad ar ffurf cardiau post a oedd yn cyd-fynd â thema eleni “Grym Geiriau”. “Roedd hi’n dda cael gwybod am brofiad rhywun nad oedd wedi bod mewn gwersyll-garchar erioed ac i glywed am effaith ddinistriol tlodi a’r gweithredoedd treisgar a ddigwyddodd. Dysgom fod hyd yn oed gwrthsafiadau bychain yn gallu gwneud gwahaniaeth ac na ddylent byth gael eu hanghofio”.

Resources - Adnoddau

Open the door to Fairtrade

Fairtrade Fortnight is now in full swing so use our comprehensive list of teaching and learning resources to celebrate this in your school. It’s a great opportunity to investigate Wales’ global links and consider how the choices and decisions we make about what we buy can affect people locally and globally. 

Agorwch y drws i Fasnach Deg

Mae Pythefnos Masnach Deg yn ei anterth nawr. Felly, defnyddiwch ein rhestr gynhwysfawr o adnoddau dysgu ac addysgu i ddathlu hyn yn eich ysgol. Mae’n gyfle gwych i archwilio cysylltiadau byd-eang Cymru ac i ystyried sut mae ein dewisiadau a’n penderfyniadau ynglŷn â’r nwyddau yr ydym yn eu prynu yn dylanwadu ar bobl leol ac ar bobl ar draws y byd.

Promoting gender equality 

International Women's Day takes place every year on 8th March. It is a global celebration of the achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality – one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030.

We have created a comprehensive new resource to support schools wishing to mark this day.

March is also Women’s History Month, which looks back on women’s achievements, celebrates the progress made by women around the world, and reminds us that there is still  work to be done. Why not mark Women’s History Month by using this new GLP-W resource to review some her-stories with your pupils, and think about how

Hybu cydraddoldeb rhywedd 

Mae Diwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod yn digwydd bob blwyddyn ar 8 Mawrth. Mae'n ddathliad byd-eang o'r hyn y mae menywod wedi'i gyflawni. Hefyd mae'r diwrnod yn dynodi galwad am weithredu er mwyn cyflymu cydraddoldeb rhywedd – un o'r 17 Nod Datblygu Cynaliadwy i'w cyflawni erbyn 2030.

Rydym wedi creu adnodd newydd cynhwysfawr i gefnogi ysgolion sydd eisiau nodi’r diwrnod hwn.

Mae mis Mawrth hefyd yn Fis Hanes Menywod sy'n edrych yn ôl ar yr hyn y mae menywod wedi'i gyflawni, yn dathlu'r cynnydd y mae menywod wedi'i wneud o gwmpas y byd, ac yn cofio bod gwaith i'w wneud o hyd. Beth am nodi Mis Hanes Menywod drwy ddefnyddio'r adnodd newydd hwn gan

women are represented in the history curriculum? 

RhDB-Cymru i edrych ar hanes menywod gyda'ch disgyblion, ac i feddwl am sut mae menywod wedi'u cynrychioli yn y cwricwlwm hanes?

Tackling Islamophobia 

Sally Holland, Children’s Commissioner for Wales has produced a resource to help raise awareness of Islamophobia and tackle this issue in schools. It includes lesson plans and several videos designed to improve understanding of Islam, underline the harm caused by Islamophobia, and give pupils an opportunity to hear directly from their Muslim peers from across Wales.

GLP-W will shortly be running another of our highly successful free Safe Havens training sessions, this time in North Wales, to support teachers to combat racism and prejudice and share effective practice from our schools. Watch out for more details on our website.

Mynd i'r afael ag Islamoffobia 

Mae Sally Holland, Comisiynydd Plant Cymru, wedi datblygu adnodd i helpu codi ymwybyddiaeth o Islamoffobia ac i fynd i’r afael a’r broblem hon mewn ysgolion. Mae’n cynnwys cynlluniau gwersi a sawl fideo a gynlluniwyd i wella dealltwriaeth o Islam, i danlinellu’r drwg a achosir gan Islamoffobia ac i roi cyfle i ddisgyblion glywed yn uniongyrchol oddi wrth eu cyfoedion Moslemaidd ar hyd a lled Cymru.

Yn y man, bydd RhDB - Cymru yn cynnal un arall o’n sesiynau hyfforddi Hafanau Diogel hynod lwyddiannus am ddim, y tro hwn yng Ngogledd Cymru, er mwyn cefnogi athrawon i frwydro yn erbyn hiliaeth a rhagfarn ac i rannu arferion da a ddaeth o’n hysgolion.
