Opportunities

GwyrddNi is looking for creatives (artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, poets - whatever your creative pratctice!) to work with schools in Gwynedd on a commission around Community Climate Action. The core of our work is about people’s voices in their communities, and so this commission is all about supporting and inspiring young voices to express messages around the climate in a creative way.

If you’re passionate about engaging with youth, empowering communities, and tackling the climate crisis through creativity, this is for you!

In a nutshell: What you create together will contribute to local climate action by sharing a message with members of the local community. The voice of people within their communities is central to all of GwyrddNi’s work, and therefore the voice of the children will be central to what that message is and how it is conveyed. As well as working together with the children to create the˜final product, the creative process you facilitate will help them find their voice and their message about the theme in question (in some schools the children have already started this work). We are open to any creative exercise that can contribute to reaching this goal.

When? The work will take place between now and the end of June (factoring in the recruitment process, joint planning, training and delivering the work).

Pay: We offer £300/day. There will be 5 days of work attached to each area meaning £1500 per area. We work in 5 areas in total you are welcome to apply for the work within one, several or all five areas.

Apply by November 29, 2024 - details at: https://www.gwyrddni.cymru/en/ysgolioncreadigol_eng/
