The Government's "Spending Challenge"
In summer 2010 the Government in London asked the public for their suggestions where money could be saved in Government spending (the "Spending Challenge").
You can see some of the suggestions visitors to our stall at the National Eisteddfod have made in this slide show and on this poster.

Non-Violence Training Handbook for Wales
Cymdeithas y Cymod has helped to fund the publication of a non-violence training pack that was prepared as a part of a project by Cynefin y Werin/Common Ground. The authors of the pack are Delyn Gwynfyd Harris, University College of Aberystwyth, Ben Gregory, chair of the Arfon Peace and Justice Group, and Arfon Rhys, secretary of Cymdeithas y Cymod.
The purpose of the pack is to give guidelines and resources to the trainers of groups who want to learn about ways of managing conflict in non-violent ways. It contains the history of conflict situations and of movements in Wales which have used non-violent means to resolve them. There are guidelines and resources to run nine non-violence workshops. Every workshop will concentrate on different themes such as challenging conflict, analysis of conflict, reacting to power, how to campaign, the nature of non-violence etc.
It is hoped to see workshops being run across Wales by local peace groups, chapels and church groups, voluntary organisations, etc. The packs are suitable for trainers and tutors who work with groups of senior youth and adults.
The bilingual packs are for sale for £15 each. If you would like to order a copy, please contact us on cymdeithasycymod@btinternet.com.
