Language and culture
Culture binds people together and creates community. It is also the basis of our connection with the natural world.
It has to do with language, the arts, cultural practices and much more, and it is an important part of the work of UNESCO.
The Dyfi Biosphere has supported cultural projects since the beginning and is proud of its bilingual heritage. Some of our projects are listed below.

Visit Wales and Powys County Council grant-aided ecodyfi to organise events for visitors that drew on the rich cultural heritage and creative vibrancy of the area. Some short tongue in cheek videos are available here.
Cymerau
The Cymerau project aimed to engage communities in Borth, Tal-y-Bont and the surrounding area in discussions about water. A number of artists were commissioned; funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council to work with communities over a twelve-month period in 2015-2016.
