The journalists immersed in their local communities, with one journalist based in each area of Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, and Wrexham. In order to engage widely in their local areas, recruiting participants who would like to share their stories, voices and experiences. The stories are then promoted via the We Are Wales project through creative means such as photographs, films, and poetryAlso after the completion of the films we hosted this celebration evening for the series of films created part of the project as the representative of Newport.The event was hosted by Fez from Urban Circle and a panel discussion will open up after the films are shared alongside a series of images captured by James Matthew-Mitchell will be on display from behind the scenes of the project throughout the evening.

A community quilt was created in response, fusing art, textiles and poetry.To symbolise the hands of friendship, the experiences, emotions and connections over this time in lockdown.Each piece of hand textile art was created at home by different women in the group and then brought together hand stitched.
‘This was a wonderful way to share the story of Coffee and Laughs and how we connect together, women from different faiths and cultures, what we can learn from each other. It keeps us learning, it keeps us young, it gives us a sense of achievement. This project enabled us to express ourselves, our emotions and feelings, of how lockdown affected us all.’
