On this special bonus episode of MOUTH-OFF, we take a festive detour into the world of Welsh folklore, winter traditions, Celtic music, storytelling and inclusive creativity.Although it's June rather than December, we're incredibly proud of The Welsh Christmas Capers, a National Lottery HERITAGE FUND-supported project delivered by RCT Learning Curve in partnership with Forget-Me-Not Productions and Word Groove Collective. Following the project's evaluation in May, we wanted to share some of the creative work that emerged along the way.Over the past year, participants from Gadlys, Llwynypia and Ty Draw Day Services explored Welsh winter traditions including Mari Lwyd, Plygain, Calennig and Noson Gyflaith through music, film-making, storytelling, performance, cookery, visual arts and assistive technology.In this episode you'll hear excerpts from the project's films, original songs, documentary features and audio story, alongside reflections on how participants brought Welsh heritage to life through their own creativity and communication styles.From rhyme battles and horse skulls (seriously) to magical toffee, ghostly carols and original songs, this is a celebration of Welsh culture, collaboration and imagination.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe Welsh Christmas Capers was delivered by RCT Learning Curve in partnership with Forget-Me-Not Productions and Word Groove Collective, with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.Special thanks to the participants, families and staff at Gadlys, Llwynypia and Ty Draw Day Services whose creativity, enthusiasm and contributions made the project possible.All media clips, films, documentary features, audio productions and project content featured in this episode were produced by Forget-Me-Not Productions as part of The Welsh Christmas Capers."Dancing with Your Heart" is performed by Word Groove Collective.
