The Beacons Project / Y Prosiect Beacons

The Beacons Project offers a unique opportunity for Welsh students to work with exceptional writers and journalists during Hay Festival.

Twenty students aged 16–18 from across Wales are invited to the Festival to meet and work with professional writers, broadcasters and journalists to develop their writing skills.

We are delighted to announce that two students from Ysgol Calon Cymru – Lydia Berry (Y13) and Elin Williams (Y12) - have been offered places to participate in this year’s Beacons Project. They are both very talented A-level English students and their applications were well-received. Llongyfarchiadau mawr!
