These new documents (and new video) produced at vast expense by the Welsh Government do not make a single mention of the unique Welsh narrative, or of the need for any self-respecting nation to take pride in its own stories and to prioritise the telling of those stories as a means of enhancing national wellbeing and selling the nation to the world. Instead, this is devoted 100% to trying to sell Wales as a handy location for the telling of other people’s stories. It’s almost as if the people who put the words and the images together are actually scared of mentioning that Wales has its own language, its own culture and its own fascinating and diverse identity. A huge opportunity missed…….
Creative Wales
We have always been a nation of storytellers. Our creative minds have been honed by the sharing of tales across generations – in words, images and song.
