Recognising Learning Thursday 13th January Yale College, Wrexham Tuesday 18th January Coleg Llandrillo, Rhyl Campus Thursday 27th January The Technium, Llanelli Booking forms are available from the NIACE Dysgu Cymru office direct (Wendy Ellaway-Lock [log in to unmask]) or on 02920 370900 or from [log in to unmask] ‘This project aims to give recognition for the diversity of adult learning that takes place across Wales. Adult Learning is wide in its definition and includes informal and formal learning or training. This may be through a voluntary organisation or in a library, museum or arts centre. It covers work based learning either as training sessions, working with a more experienced member of staff or formal learning to acquire new skills, either out of interest or to further your career or to gain employment. The Welsh Assembly Government has designed an adult learning framework called the Credit and Qualification Framework for Wales, which provides a mechanism to give recognition for all learning and the opportunity to take the learning forward into qualifications, if that is appropriate. This will give currency, value and quality endorsement to adult learning and for learners, employers and providers. This is advance notice of a series of seminars across Wales to make organisations aware of the development, how to become part of it and the advantages and challenges the new framework is generating. The project is being undertaken by NIACE Dysgu Cymru and is funded by Welsh Assembly Government through the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills’. Further information is available from Katy Burns ([log in to unmask]) Cydnabod Dysgu ‘Nod y prosiect yma yw rhoi cydnabyddiaeth i amrywiaeth yr addysg oedolion sy’n digwydd ledled Cymru. Mae gan Addysg Oedolion ddiffiniad eang ac mae’n cynnwys dysgu a hyfforddiant anffurfiol a ffurfiol. Gall hyn fod drwy fudiad gwirfoddol neu mewn llyfrgell, amgueddfa neu ganolfan celfyddydau. Mae’n cynnwys dysgu seiliedig ar waith un ai fel sesiynau hyfforddiant, gweithio gydag aelod mwy profiadol o staff neu ddysgu ffurfiol i ennill sgiliau newydd, un ai allan o ddiddordeb neu i hyrwyddo eich gyrfa neu i sicrhau cyflogaeth. Mae Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru wedi cynllunio fframwaith addysg oedolion dan enw Fframwaith Credydau a Chymwysterau Cymru sy’n rhoi dull i gydnabod pob dysgu a chyfle i fynd â’r dysgu rhagddo i gymwysterau, os yw hynny’n addas. Bydd hyn yn rhoi perthnasedd, gwerth a chymeradwyaeth ansawdd i addysg oedolion ac i ddysgwyr, cyflogwyr a darparwyr. Mae hyn yn flaen hysbysiad am gyfres o seminarau ledled Cymru i hysbysu sefydliadau am y datblygiad, sut i ddod yn rhan ohono a’r manteision a’r heriau y mae’r fframwaith newydd yn eu rhoi. Cynhelir y prosiect gan NIACE Dysgu Cymru ac fe’i hariannir gan Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru drwy’r Adran Plant, Addysg, Dysgu Gydol Oes a Sgiliau.
