As well as designing GIFs, Mwydro also teaches children and young people to design their own GIFs through the Hac Y Gymraeg, GIFs in Schools project.
Funded from March – July 2023 through the Welsh Government’s #HacYGymraeg fund, the project’s proven popularity has meant I have now extended the project beyond the funding period and schools can now pay for a GIFs in Schools workshop of their own.
The workshops focus on creating fun, animated Welsh Language Place-Name GIFs which are then placed in the public GIF search bar for everyone to access and use.
Some of the great GIFs designed by school pupils in my #HacYGymraeg project!
