Date: 6 July 2017
Time: 11:20am to 11:40am
Duration: 15 minutes (5 mins Q&A).
Venue: University of Edinburgh Business School - Lecture Theatre 1B.
Speakers:
- Duncan Brown.
Overview of topic:
The Bywiadur is part of the Llên Natur (nature lore) website and comes under the auspices of Cymdeithas Edward Llwyd – a charity set up in 1978 to promote the appreciation of nature, cultural heritage and the environment.] The editorial language of this environmental, interactive recording project is strictly Welsh but it nevertheless welcomes testimony in whatever language is offered. Items in Gaelic, Breton and Cornish are currently included, as well as the more dominant languages. It seeks to make the environment a more mainstream aspect of Welsh culture and by the same token welcomes those with a limited knowledge of the language into the Welsh cultural fold.
