The importance of
play
In this podcast Marianne Mannello from Play Wales and Millie
Boswell from Community & Voluntary Support Conwy (CVSC)
discuss how play provision should be at the heart of community
interventions to increase prosperity and wellbeing; how play can
help stimulate community activism and empowerment; and how
empowerment can take time to happen in communities.
What do we mean
by 'resilience' and 'empowered'?
In this podcast Chris Johnes from Building Communities Trust and
Anna Nicholl and Russell Todd from WCVA discuss whether terms such
as 'empowerment' or 'resilient communities' are correct, or indeed
matter at all; some of the ingredients required to empower
communities; and the importance of leaning at the heart of
empowerment activities.
The role of arts
and culture in empowering people and communities
In this podcast Gareth Coles from Voluntary Arts Wales and
Russell Todd from WCVA are hosted by Guy O'Donnell, Co-ordinator of
the Sherman 5 programme at Sherman Theatre in Cardiff. They discuss
the valuable role that the arts and cultural activities can have in
enhancing people's well-being; how co-producing arts activities
with people can lead to greater participation in cultural
activities; and how the arts can create new ways for people to
express themselves.
Resilient
Communities - a rural perspective
In this podcast Jessica Morgan and Karen Scott from PLANED in
Narberth, Pembrokeshire provide a rural perspective on resilient
communities. They describe some of the pressures facing rural
communities; they provide an insight to the challenges of
supporting collective community action across dispersed
communities; and they explain how a community development
organisation like PLANED can animate and support communities to be
more self-sufficient.
