Its beginnings date from 1999 when the University of Wales Swansea’s Welsh Department arranged a day conference in Gregynog and invited all those concerned with the two centuries, the eighteenth and the nineteenth. The positive response received showed that there was a place for a society which would give those interested in the two centuries the opportunity to come together on a regular basis to meet and to exchange views. An annual conference has been held in the meantime and papers and discussions have centred on the themes of 19

    Extractions: Being brought up in Wales is fun, Wales has a lot of history behind it's culture. I really never expected to find an American Husband, I always thought I'd stay close to home. But things change when your in love with someone half way across the world. There are so many great traditions of Wales that I'll miss dearly. These are just a few I have researched and in which I were brought up in my Welsh Childhood. The following are my own personal experiences and my own knowledge of Welsh Culture! The Eisteddfod - Most towns and villages all around Wales conduct an annual Eisteddfod each year. The Eisteddfod is basically a competiton, which translates as "Chairing" Normally the winner is awarded a chair on which he/she is ceremoniously crowned. Winners of the local Eisteddfods go on to compete on a county or regional level, eventually reaching the "Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales" (Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru) in which they compete with others from all parts of the country. The National Eisteddfod is the largest folk festival in Europe. It is normally held in a different town on the first week of August each year. Alternating between a venue in South Wales one year and North Wales the next, it draws vast crowds to enjoy its week-long activities. Activities often include folk dancing, creative dancing, poetry readings, and many more. Love Spoons - The centuries old Welsh custom of giving love spoons meant that a would-be suitor gave a spoon as an indication that he desired to court a particular girl. A girl may therefore have received several spoons from as many suitors. Today lovespoons are given for many reasons and to mark many occasions; the marriage of a couple, the arrival of their child, a wedding anniversary, a birthday, a christening, Valentine's Day, Christmas, to mark a success of some sort e.g. a Graduation, and "favours" for the guests at a wedding.

    Extractions: Welsh culture is popularly associated with singing - particularly male voice choirs - and with harp music. However, there's a lot more to it than that! Welsh literature dates back to the 6th century, making Welsh Europe's oldest living language. Welsh is a Celtic language, closely related to Breton and more distantly related to Scottish and Irish Gaelic. It is still the mother-tongue of a large number of people, and is taught either as a first or second language in all schools in Wales. Courses in Welsh for adults are held all over the country; one special location for residential courses is the Nant Gwrtheyrn centre (details of this site are also available in Welsh ). A Web-based Welsh course is also available. Modern Welsh literature has been written in both English and Welsh in all the standard literary forms - poetry, drama, novels, short stories etc; one of the leading modern Welsh publishers is Y Lolfa, whose catalogue is now available on the Web. A useful site containing information about many aspects of the poetry of Wales in both Welsh and English is available on the Web.

    Extractions: From the Celtic lands of Cornwall, Ireland, Brittany, the Isle of Man, Wales and Scotland, the world of the Celts has numerous facets and beautiful images. The Eurostick range of Celtic window decals have re-created this wealth of motifs and fascinating images - from the early artifacts of Celtic civilization to a modern renaissance through the art of Courtney Davis, and from both their pagan and then Christian traditions such as the books of Kells and Lindisfarne. The range features depictions of crosses; knotwork, spiral and zoomorphic ornament which is the very essence of the potent power the Celtic image, and a celebration and tribute to Celtic history and tradition.

    http://www.greenmtn.edu/learning/welsh.asp
    
    Extractions: Green Mountain College is located in the Vermont-New York Slate Valley, a region rich in Welsh heritage. Many Welsh immigrants, attracted by the area's slate industry, settled in this valley to produce one of the strongest Welsh-American communities in the country. The Green Mountain College Welsh Heritage Program seeks to maintain and cultivate that cultural legacy and to foster an interest in Wales and Welsh culture among our students and faculty. Our outreach to students is a particularly important part of the program, as we feel that the interest and commitment of young people in Welsh culture is essential for the continued vitality of the Welsh-American community. In the 1970s, Green Mountain College received a federal grant to promote the revival of the area's Welsh cultural heritage through projects involving the surrounding community and local schools. The foundation of the college library's Welsh Collection and the holding of a Welsh language course that led to the formation of Cymdeithas Madog were among the results. Strengthening its commitment and expanding its activities, Green Mountain established an ongoing Welsh Heritage Program to preserve and celebrate Welsh and Welsh-American culture in 1995.

    Extractions: (C)opyright 1994-2003 Mark H. Nodine This course is one suitable for beginners. The main emphasis of the course is in developing conversational skills in Welsh as it is currently spoken (as contrasted with teaching the forms needed for understanding literary Welsh). The material is an indirect descendent of the Cymraeg Byw movement of the 1960s and 1970s. This course does not assume a general proficiency in learning languages, nor any previous background in Welsh. The course is also developed in such a way that it can be distributed either through an ASCII medium wrapped as a setext, or made available in HTML on the World Wide Web Geraint Jones (Rhydychen) has written answers for common questions about Welsh and Wales This course is still under construction. Please report any problems to me via e-mail. Lesson 6 is the latest released lesson.
