“Wales: A Home from Home” pilots in Cardiff schools

(Welsh below)

Wales: A Home from Home – Vision Fountain’s multimedia storytelling project – is now inspiring Welsh school pupils. In partnership with Hwb Cymru, Vision Fountain is piloting a school-based learning exhibition that blends traditional storytelling with immersive technology.

The program supports key aims of the Curriculum for Wales, encouraging curiosity, empathy, and cultural understanding as well as experiencing emerging technologies, often for the first time.

The first pop-up took place this week at Moorland Primary School, Cardiff, where Year 5 and Year 6 pupils explored printed portraits, films, and immersive 360° video stories drawn from Wales’s diverse communities.

Originally exhibited at Senedd Cymru, Wales: A Home from Home celebrates the rich global cultural tapestry that shapes modern Wales – from early migrants such as Italians, Yemenis, and Greek-Cypriots to more recent arrivals from Ukraine, Hong Kong, and Syria.

Photos from the school event capture pupils’ enthusiasm as they discovered new perspectives on identity, migration and belonging.

“Cymru: Cartref i Bawb” yn peilota mewn ysgolion yng Nghaerdydd

Cymru: Cartref i Bawb – prosiect adrodd straeon amlgyfrwng gan Vision Fountain – bellach yn ysbrydoli disgyblion ysgolion ledled Cymru. Mewn partneriaeth â Hwb Cymru, mae Vision Fountain yn peilota arddangosfa ddysgu mewn ysgolion sy’n cyfuno adrodd straeon traddodiadol â thechnoleg drochol a thrawiadol.

Mae’r rhaglen yn cefnogi prif amcanion Cwricwlwm i Gymru, gan feithrin chwilfrydedd, empathi, a dealltwriaeth ddiwylliannol, yn ogystal â chynnig profiadau o dechnolegau newydd – yn aml am y tro cyntaf.

Cartref i Bawb – prosiect peilot gydag Ysgolion Caerdydd. Yma yn Ysgol Gynradd Moorland, Caerdydd, Cymru.

Cynhaliwyd y pop-up cyntaf yr wythnos hon yn Ysgol Gynradd Moorland, Caerdydd, lle bu disgyblion Blwyddyn 5 a Blwyddyn 6 yn archwilio portreadau printiedig, ffilmiau, a straeon fideo 360° trochol wedi’u hysbrydoli gan gymunedau amrywiol Cymru.

Wedi’i arddangos gyntaf yn Senedd Cymru, ac wedi teithio i leoedd ar draws Cymru, mae Cymru: Cartref i Bawb yn dathlu’r gwead diwylliannol byd-eang cyfoethog sy’n siapio Cymru gyfoes – o fewnfudwyr cynnar megis yr Eidalegwyr, y Yemeniaid, a’r Groeg-Cypriotiaid, i newydd-ddyfodiaid diweddar o Wcráin, Hong Kong a Syria.
