Lovely to get this in the post. A validation and celebration of the tremendous work of all involved in this programme. I led the Spanish->English workshops and the students engaged brilliantly. @StephenSpender

ALT "Am Gwrs DP gwych. Fe wnes i fwynhau’r sesiynau’n fawr; roedden nhw wedi’u trefnu’n dda, ac yn hynod ddifyr ac effeithiol. Mae’r deunyddiau a’r adnoddau hyfforddi’n ardderchog. Dw i eisoes wedi dechrau gwneud hyn gyda dau ddosbarth ac mae’r canlyniadau wedi bod yn anhygoel – caneuon, rapiau a llawer o gyfieithiadau creadigol gwych.”
