Volunteer Research Assistant
The Academi Heddwch Cymru was launched in 2020 and is funded by the Welsh Government and hosted by the Welsh Centre for International Affairs (WCIA). Their aim is to ensure that Wales makes an internationally recognised contribution to peace research and practice by becoming a part of a global network of peace institutes.
As a volunteer researcher, I mapped existing and new peace links and peace-related partnerships between Wales and the world, including schools, civil society and academic networks. The Wales for Peace project saw the creation of a Wales’ Peace Map.
I have also written blog articles about Indigenous Language Day: Irish and Welsh Celtic Connection.
Topics I’ve researched include:
Peace researchers in Wales
Peace organisations in Wales
I’m currently creating a list of references/web-links/case studies on peace education worldwide
Indigenous Language Day: Irish and Welsh Celtic Connection
With only 300 miles between Ireland and Wales, it’s no surprise to anyone that both countries share a long history, teeming with struggles and fights to preserve and protect their indigenous languages. It’s true that both Welsh and Irish belong to the same family as modern branches of Celtic tongues, otherwise known as “speaking Celtic languages”, and both have managed to teach school children these languages in schools as part of a standardised curriculum.
