Ciaran Fitzgerald – Castell Nedd, Port Talbot

The intention of this project is to bring together two groups of young people who would normally have limited contact with each other despite living in the same geographical area. I intend to work with two schools, Ysgol Gyfun Bro Dur, a mainstream Welsh school in Port Talbot, and Ysgol Maes y Coed, a Special School in Neath, which has pupils with a variety of learning and communication difficulties as well as physical disabilities . My intention is to make a piece of street theater that reflects the community these young people are a part of, and display it at the Eisteddfod yr Urdd in Margam 2025. This project gives young people from different backgrounds, but from the same community, the chance to work together, and develop mutual understanding between them.
