> Digital Democracy can be a great way of ensuring the voices of all children and young people in a school are heard. Sue Lyle and Peter Anderson report on how the digital platform, VocalEyes can be used to support Pupil Voice and lead to serious action for change in schools and community.

This is such a positive project with loads of ideas such as no-dig food growing and involving communities from Swansea.
They have plans to create 7 areas of hazel coppice over the next 7 years. Coppiced wood is invaluable for building materials and for converting into bio-char to add to the soil. (The project is inspired by Ed Revill's growing project on South Gower and his biochar pioneering work).
Tuesdays have now been set as a weekly workday. It would be great to have a large group of people working together and sharing food and conversation too. Car parking available across the road at Bishopston Community Centre or the number 14 bus from Swansea bus station takes you right there.
If you want to get involved please contact Bob and Jules on 07964 530436 or climateandcommunity@btinternet.com or Val on 07533 711 506. Also if you know of any community groups that may be interested in participating, contact Jules and Bob. Volunteer expenses are provided plus unlimited cups of tea and coffee with biscuits!

The public reaction to this idea has been wonderful to see, and the passion and commitment shines through in all the horse riders' comments.
These will be very useful in gathering evidence to show to Wigan Council that there is an urgent need to address the issues sooner rather than later.
An email has been sent out to everyone who expressed an interest in getting involved, inviting them along to a Zoom meeting on Tuesday 29th November at 7pm.
The agenda is as follows:
To establish the aims of the working group by gathering evidence from horse riders to show if there is an urgent need for a joined up bridleway in Haigh.
Objectives:
Use an OS Map of the area on a shared screen to discuss the following questions: (The bridleways are the large green dashed lines, small ones are footpaths)
What is the current situation?
Has it changed from the past situation? If so, how has it changed?
Do you feel safe riding in Haigh? Are there any dangers? If so, how can these be addressed?
What would you like to see change, and where?
Can you identify a potential route for a joined up bridleway?
Next steps:
To take the findings of this meeting to Wigan Council with a view to setting up a joint working group with a balance of members.
If you would like to get involved, its not too late, just click you'd like to get involved and I will get back to you with details.

Bydd platfform Vocaleyes yn cael ei ddefnyddio i gynaeafu’r syniadau hynny gan aelodau’r gymuned ac mae gan weddill y gymuned gyfle i ddweud i ba raddau maen nhw’n cytuno neu’n anghytuno â’r syniadau hynny.
Bydd y Cyngor Cymuned wedyn yn dyrannu'r arian i'r prosiectau hynny y bernir eu bod yn ymarferol i'w cefnogi.
EICH cronfa CHI yw hon felly cymerwch ran, graddiwch y syniadau, ychwanegwch eich rhai eich hun ac addunedwch i gefnogi'r prosiectau hynny yr hoffech fod yn rhan ohonynt.

Yn ddiweddar, mae argraffu 3D mewn addysg wedi dod yn bwysicach gyda mwy o argraffwyr 3D a chymwysiadau technoleg 3D yn cael eu canfod. Mae'r gwneuthurwyr argraffu 3D blaenllaw eisoes wedi datblygu peiriannau arbenigol i blant ddiwallu anghenion addysgol. Mae enghreifftiau'n cynnwys gwneuthurwr argraffydd 3D bwrdd gwaith XYZprinting. Crëwyd argraffydd Da Vinci Colour 3D a datblygwyd fersiwn MiniMaker ymhellach sydd wedi’i anelu’n benodol at bynciau STEM mewn ysgolion neu’r Toybox a ddyluniwyd ar gyfer plant.
**Mae'r defnydd o argraffu 3D yn yr ysgol yn gwneud synnwyr wrth edrych ar yr ystod o fanteision sydd ynghlwm wrth hynny. Ond beth yw'r posibiliadau o integreiddio argraffu 3D mewn ysgolion a'i ystafelloedd dosbarth? Yn enwedig gyda chwricwlwm gorlawn y myfyrwyr. Faint o amser sydd ar ôl wedyn i drin technoleg mor arloesol ag argraffu 3D?
Er bod y defnydd o gyfryngau newydd yn rhyngddisgyblaethol integredig yn yr holl raglenni, enghraifft yw'r gynghrair rhwng Samsung a Makerbot i greu 1,300 o ystafelloedd dosbarth deallus mewn gwledydd Ewropeaidd megis y DU, lle mae argraffu 3D eisoes yn flaenoriaeth. Ond, mae'r defnydd o dechnoleg 3D arloesol hyd yn hyn yn dal i fod wedi'i anelu'n bennaf at brosiectau penodol neu ddiwrnodau llawn o brosiectau.

'A no agenda space, where folk can go to just be themselves alongside others, they are warm welcoming places that offer no services just the company of fellow humans. Public Living Rooms are not manned by staff, they are set up and organised by folk in communities for those communities and are open to all.'
You can hang out in the living room whenever we are open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, but keep an eye for dedicated living room events in our announcements!
