Powered by Google Welsh Collection Music Program Art Program Exchange and Scholarship Programs Welsh Heritage Program Green Mountain College One College Circle Poultney VT 05764 The Welsh Heritage Program The heart of the Slate Valley Green Mountain College is located in the Vermont-New York Slate Valley, a region rich in Welsh heritage. Many Welsh immigrants, attracted by the area's slate industry, settled in this valley to produce one of the strongest Welsh-American communities in the country. The Green Mountain College Welsh Heritage Program seeks to maintain and cultivate that cultural legacy and to foster an interest in Wales and Welsh culture among our students and faculty. Our outreach to students is a particularly important part of the program, as we feel that the interest and commitment of young people in Welsh culture is essential for the continued vitality of the Welsh-American community. History of the Program In the 1970s, Green Mountain College received a federal grant to promote the revival of the area's Welsh cultural heritage through projects involving the surrounding community and local schools. The foundation of the college library's Welsh Collection and the holding of a Welsh language course that led to the formation of Cymdeithas Madog were among the results. Strengthening its commitment and expanding its activities, Green Mountain established an ongoing Welsh Heritage Program to preserve and celebrate Welsh and Welsh-American culture in 1995.

Once in New Zealand, they never formed large enough groups to sustain their own language. Probably half of all Welsh arrivals from the 1840s to the 1910s came from the industrial, anglicised south of Wales rather than the rural, traditional and Welsh-speaking north. Since the First World War, there were four times more arrivals from the south than from the north. Individual achievements Individual Welsh men and women attained some prominence in the settlement and development of New Zealand. Among them was the wood carver and sculptor Frederick Gurnsey. Trade unionists Alexander Croskery, George Manning and Arthur Rosser were born in Wales. Manning became a long-serving and popular mayor of Christchurch. Notable Welsh-born women included the social reformer Eveline Cunnington and the brewery manager Mary Innes. Miners Welsh miners made an important contribution to the development of New Zealand’s mining industry, especially coal mining, between the world wars. In 1936, Welsh working men were four times more likely than those of other descent to be miners or quarrymen.

The main emphasis of the course is in developing conversational skills in Welsh as it is currently spoken (as contrasted with teaching the forms needed for understanding literary Welsh). The material is an indirect descendent of the Cymraeg Byw movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

Some facts and figures about Wales Geography Tourism Agriculture and Industry Emblems ... Statistics Language English is the day to day language for most Welsh people. Due to the efforts of many dedicated people the Welsh language still flourishes (and there is a Welsh language TV channel). The 1991 census gave a figure of 18.5 per cent Welsh speakers. Currency The currency is that of Britain in general i.e. the pound sterling , sometimes referred to on the Net as the GBP . This tends to hover at around 1.4 dollars US in value. Climate Wales has the sort of climate often described as "temperate". This means that it never gets very hot or very cold. May, June, July and August are the sunniest and driest months, but even in the winter a raincoat and sweater will usually cope with the worst that the weather has to offer. For more weather information check the statistics at the foot of this page and our Travel Notes Geography The land area is just over 8,000 square miles and Wales measures 160 miles long by 60 miles wide. Wales has extensive tracts of high plateaux with mountain ranges deeply dissected by river valleys radiating from the centre of the upland area. The lowland area is confined mainly to the relatively narrow coastal belts and the valley floors. Snowdon is the highest mountain at 3,650 feet. The coastline is almost 750 miles long (1,200 Km.)

Search NMGW Go home learning news ... skip to navigation Promoting Welsh Culture The Abergavenny eisteddfodau were extremely colourful. A special hall was erected in Abergavenny to stage them because they were so popular. They were promotional eisteddfodau: at Abergavenny, Welsh culture was very much on display. They even drew attention to the local woollen industry. When Gwenynen Gwent went on her travels to Europe, she took samples of Abergavenny flannel with her, to promote them in the great houses, and even the courts, of Europe. And she never missed a chance, of course, to convince people that the folk culture of Wales was very special. She kept harpists and had parties of dancers at Llanover Hall. And although the English language played a prominent part in those eisteddfodau too - well, how could it not? Because Lady Llanover mixed with the upper echelons of society, and managed to persuade them to give those generous prizes; you'd expect that the English language would play quite a prominent role. Then on the other hand, you had a wonderful old hero like Thomas Price, Carnhuanawc, a man who fought so strongly against the lies peddled in the Blue Books, for example. You had a man like this who was very faithful in his attachment to Welsh-language culture, and there's no doubt at all that the ten eisteddfodau held under the auspices of Cymreigyddion Y Fenni formed one of the most brilliant chapters in the Eisteddfod's history.

Whiskey works in the windy city Issue 44 : Whisky Trends Celtic Cousins - Reviving part of Welsh culture The Welsh Whisky Company is in business and impressing whisky experts with its product. Charles MacLean visited it Like all good whisky tales, the story of the revival of distilling in Wales begins in a pub. It was 1997. Brian Morgan, an economist who was at the time working for the Welsh Development Agency (he is now director of Cardiff University’s Business School), was talking to a friend about the economic future of Wales. Over a couple of malts, they reflected upon the Welsh influence upon distilling in the USA, which was considerable – think of famous Welsh names such as Jack Daniels and Evan Williams. Would it not be a good idea to approach these companies and see if they would help revive the art of whisky distilling in the Principality? By chance, two weeks later, another of Brian’s friends, Alan Evans, phoned to alert him to the sale, in liquidation, of the plant and effects of Welsh Distillers, including a complete bottling line and an unused still.
