We have been working with 2 other local social enterprises, Undercurrents and Learn Thru Music, to help young people aged 11 to 19 develop messages through the media of music and film in a project funded by the Arts Council For Wales and Reach The Heights.

So far 3 groups have taken part, Interplay, BAYS & SYSHP (Swansea Young Single Homeless Project). Each group received 4 days of training to create a music video that sent out a message about life as a young person in Swansea.

We hosted and facilitated the initial consultations with the various groups, Learn Thru music then helped the young people develop their ideas into music with professional production. And finally Undercurrents came in to support with creating a music video for each song written and performed by the groups.

The final products gave strong powerful messages about the different aspects of young people's lives, covering topics such as individuality, peer pressure and bereavement.

The songs and videos were only the tip of the iceberg, as the overall aim of the project was to raise confidence and aspirations within young people, making sure they get the most out of education, training and job opportunities. Through the intensive 7 day course participants explored aspects of their future, gained confidence in their own voice and overcoming the challenges presented when creating music and film. They also gained an OCN qualification by taking part.

The project will be running over the summer and hopes to work with more groups of young people in Swansea.

Beth yr ydym yn ei wneud?

Mae Dynamix wedi bod yn rhan o brosiect cyffrous a gwobrwyol yng nghymuned Llwynhendy i wneud gwaith gwerthuso are u 8 mlynedd diwethaf yn rhaglen Cymunedau’n Gyntaf Llwynhendy.

Y nod yw gwerthuso’r cynnydd yn erbyn set o stategau llinell gefn wedi eu adnabod mewn ymgynghoriad yn 2003, sefydlu beth sydd wedi gwella a pha sialensiau sydd yn dal i wynebu’r gymuned.

Pam ydym eisiau rhannu hyn gyda chi?

Rhannwyd y prosiect yn ddau lle roedd gwirfoddolwyr o grwpiau oedolion a phobl ifanc yn ogystal â’r tîm Cymunedau’n Gyntaf wedi eu cefnogi i ddeall beth sydd angen ei ystyried wrth gynnal ymgynghoriad, ystod o ddulliau ac wrth ddylunio ymgynghoriad, oedd yna wedi ei ymgymryd gan y gwirfoddolwyr a Dynamix.

Yna cyflwynwyd hyn i’r gymunedi’r gymuned mewn digwyddiad â fynychwyd gan 120 o drigolion, ysgrifennom adroddiad llawn, adroddiad gweledol hawdd ei ddarllen ar gyfer aelodau’r gymuned a fe’i gyflwynwyd mewn adroddiad digidol yn eiriol a gweledol sydd ar gael ar youtube.

Fe waneth Amy Sanders, y gweithwir o Dynamix gael profiad gwerthfawr iawn yn gwneud y gwaith hwn.

Roedd yn bleser cael gweithio gyda’r gymuned yn Llwynhendy ac mae’r bartnertiaeth Cymunedau’n Gyntaf yn ysbrydoledig, mae’r lefel rhyfeddol o ymwneud cymunedol yn Llwynhendy a’r ffaith fod y tîm Cymunedau’n Gyntaf yn cael eu parchu gymaint gan y gymuned yn ddau thema oedd wedi rheoli’r brosiect cyfan. Mae’n stori llwyddiant ardderchog ac yn dangos pa mor bositif y mae gwaith datblygu cymundeol yn gallu bod.

Mae’r prosiect hefyd yn mynd â gwaith Dynamix ymlaen (hyd yn oed mwy!) drwy ddartblygu dulliau ymgynghori newydd gan gynnwys ein defnydd cyntaf o ymgynghoriad firol ar y wê drwy facebook, dulliau ymgynghori gyda themau pêl-droed wedi eu datblygu ar y cyd gyda’r bobl ifanc er mwyn ymgynghori gyda’r unigolion oedd yn rhan o ornest pêl-droed 5 bob ochr, ymgynghoriad gyda thema gemau tîm i deuluoedd er mwyn dod â rhieni a phlant at ei gilydd, pobl ifanc yn ymgynghori gyda’r henoed drwy nifer o dechnegau a dulliau a llawr mwy! Mae’r prosiect yn dangos y gofal arbennig yr ydym yn ei gymryd i annog ymwneud y gymuned a sut rydym yn cefnogi’r gymued i gymryd rhan yn yr ymgynghoriad.

Beth yw’r canlyniad?

Roedd cyfraddau cyfranogi yn uchel iawn ac roedd 293 o bobl wedi cymryd rhan. Mae Cymunedau’n Gyntaf Llwynhendy wedi medru gweld tystiolaeth o’u cyflawniadau helaeth a’u lefel hynod o ymrwymiad cymunedol yn barod ar gyfer yr adolygiad o Gymunedau’n Gyntaf yn 2012.

Mae Cymunedau’n Gyntaf Llwynhendy wedi bod ar flaen y gad gyda thechnegau ymgynghori arloesol, perchnogaeth ymgynghori gan aelodau’r gymuned ac yn bennaf, gwneud canlyniadau adroddiadau cymunedol yn hygyrch i aelodau’r gymuned.

Cyflwynwyd Dynamix â Thlws Seren gan Lindy Butler, Cydlynydd Cymunedau’n Gyntaf, mewn noson wobrwyo i adnabod unigolion a grwpiau oedd wedi gwneud cyfraniad sylweddol i gymuned Llwynhendy.

Dynamix is working with the Welsh Government to find out what children and young people think of the new Draft Statutory Guidance on Local Participation Strategies. We're looking to actively involve a broad range of children and young people in a series of lively, fun and empowering consultation sessions.

The Draft Statutory Guidance on Local Participation Strategies sets out to ensure as many organisations as possible work more participatively with children and young people. The Welsh Government is committed to Article 12 of the UNCRC and ensuring that all children and young people have opportunities to contribute to decision making on issues which impact on their lives.

Dynamix is renowned for delivering engaging and stimulating sessions that make young people want to express their opinion and get involved in issues that effect them. Consultation sessions will be fun and empowering.

If you'd like to get involved in this consultation and book a consultation session with a group of children and young people, please get in touch on 01792 466231 or Diogelir y cyfeiriad e-bost hwn rhag botiau sbam - bydd angen rhoi JavaScript mewn grym i edrych arno by December 10th. Events will take place throughout January 2012.

Dynamix are looking for groups to work with. We have secured funding to deliver two participation projects.

The groups must be either not in education, training or employment or at risk of becoming so. The options are 20 yp aged between 11 and 13 yrs, 30 hrs contact time or 10 yp aged between 14 and 18 yrs, 20 hours contact time.

Both groups would be offered a qualification and the project could be designed to fit your participation agenda. We need to plan the project as soon as possible. If you think you might have a group we could work with email Diogelir y cyfeiriad e-bost hwn rhag botiau sbam - bydd angen rhoi JavaScript mewn grym i edrych arno .

All design, prepartion and delivery are paid for, you will need to provide the group, a venue and any travel and refreshments. We can work with groups within about an hours drive of Swansea.
