Bantani Cymru CIC is a not-for-profit community interest company dedicated to improving learning, wellbeing and community cohesion across Wales. Our work supports schools, community groups and public bodies to embed entrepreneurial, creative and sustainability competences into everyday practice, closely aligned to the principles and intentions of the Curriculum for Wales. Over the financial year, Bantani Cymru delivered a range of programmes designed to help teachers and learners apply the Curriculum for Wales through authentic, community-connected learning. Our activities directly benefited 900 children and young people, 50 teachers and educators, and 800 members of the wider public. Key activities included: 1. Cynefin-based learning and heritage engagement We supported schools and communities to explore Welsh heritage through creative, place-based learning. This included: Cynefin at the Castle, where pupils investigated local history and culture through immersive learning experiences at historic sites, sharing their work with families and the public. Nature Trails, co-designed with teachers and local partners to strengthen outdoor learning, environmental awareness and wellbeing. These trails helped learners develop observation, inquiry, creativity and communication skills, all central to the Curriculum for Wales. 2. Music, culture and community participation We delivered community cultural events such as the Cymanfa Ganu, bringing together intergenerational groups to celebrate Welsh musical traditions and share their research into the life of Evan Roberts. This supported cultural identity, confidence, and social connection, benefiting approximately 200 community participants. 3. International collaboration and global competence Our Croeso Ambassadors programme connected schools in Wales with international partners, enabling learners to co-create digital, multilingual virtual guides to their local area. This strengthened digital competence, languages, cultural understanding and real-world application of learning. In this period the programme engaged 150 pupils and 20 teachers. Across all activities, Bantani Cymru strengthened community engagement, enhanced teacher confidence in implementing the Curriculum for Wales, and supported learners to develop the skills, knowledge and dispositions needed to contribute positively to their communities. Our work continues to build partnerships, promote inclusion and support authentic learning experiences that create social, cultural and environmental value for Wales

Bantani Cymru engages with a wide range of stakeholders whose perspectives directly inform the design, delivery and continuous improvement of our activities. Our key stakeholders include: Children and young people participating in our educational and community programmes. Teachers, school leaders and education professionals involved in implementing Curriculum for Wales. Community members and families who take part in cultural and heritage events. Partner organisations such as local authorities, community groups, heritage bodies and international collaborators. Funders and commissioning bodies supporting project delivery. Stakeholder consultation is carried out primarily through structured project evaluation processes, including digital and paper-based feedback forms, reflective surveys and post-activity reviews. These tools allow us to gather consistent, actionable feedback on the quality, relevance and impact of our work. Across the reporting period, feedback gathered through these consultations led to several improvements, including: adapting learning resources to better support teachers in delivering the Curriculum for Wales; refining the design of community events such as Cynefin at the Castle and the Cymanfa Ganu to increase accessibility and participation; enhancing pupil-facing materials to ensure activities remain engaging, age-appropriate and inclusive; strengthening communication and planning processes with partner organisations.
