Special series: Folk Arts, Policy and the Convention
Episode 1: Isle of Man and Northern Ireland
Welcome to The Access Folk Podcast and our special series on Folk Arts, Cultural Policy and UNESCO’s 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. These show notes provide context for the episodes and link to more sources about the topics we cover.
In the first episode Esbjörn Wettemark talks to Breesha Maddrell from Culture Vannin on the Isle of Man and Ciarán Ó Maoláin from Armagh Pipers Club in Northern Ireland. At the start of the episode Esbjörn introduces the terms folk arts and policy.
What is Folk Arts?
There is no single definition of what constitutes the folk arts. In fact, several of the organisations involved in this project use other terms, such as traditional arts, or combinations such as folk music and dance traditions. The very broad definition we use is described by Esbjörn as ‘art forms and styles of cultural expressions that are based in oral transmission, have a sense of connection to place, and are perceived by practitioners as being part of a people’s culture – something connected to everyday life rather than being part of an institutionalised art form’. Words like folk or traditional can have many different meanings depending on the context and you can find more information about this in the further readings below.
What is Policy?
Policy can be a tricky word, but it generally refers to a decision or plan of action taken by a government or organisation to ensure a certain outcome. Policy expert Prof. Paul Cairney’s website is a great starting point to learn about what policy is and how policy making and research on policy works in the UK.
Isle of Man
Culture Vannin is the Isle of Man’s main arts development organisation. They are based in St John’s in the centre of the island. Director Dr Breesha Maddrell talks about the specific context of Isle of Man and how they work with the Isle of Man Arts Council and Government. She discusses the importance of language policies and the UNESCO Biosphere project.
Visit Culture Vannin’s website for more information about their work and Manx culture and language.

Northern Ireland
The Armagh Pipers Club was founded in Armagh in 1966 and is one of the oldest Irish traditional music organisations in Northern Ireland. The club’s secretary, Ciarán Ó Maoláin, talks about the club’s history and long relationship with the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. He describes their work in the context of intercommunity tension and his hopes for policy changes and development in the region.

Episode 2: Wales and England
Welcome to The Access Folk Podcast and our special series on Folk Arts, Cultural Policy and UNESCO’s 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. These show notes provide context for the episodes and link to more sources about the topics we cover.
In the second episode Esbjörn Wettemark talks to Danny KilBride from Trac Cymru in Wales and Katy Spicer from the English Folk Dance and Song Society in England. At the start of the episode Esbjörn introduces the role of Arts Councils and their work across the isles.
Arts Councils
Since the 1990s, culture has been a devolved issue in the UK. Over the last 30 years, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Arts Council England, Arts Council of Wales and Creative Scotland, consequently, have developed in different directions. All arts councils – apart from Isle of Man Arts Council, which is more closely connected to the Isle of Man government – are so-called ‘arms-length’ organisations: they all distribute government funding to artists and organisations, provide support, and monitor the work of funded organisations in their areas, but operate independent of direct oversight from government. In the episode, Esbjörn discusses some of the work the arts councils do and introduces the State of the Art report, which provides some comparison of their roles across the isles.
Wales
Trac Cymru is a folk arts development organisation supporting both professional artists and community activities across Wales. Director Danny KilBride talks about the organisation's history and their work to engage people with folk arts. He talks about how changes in Welsh language policies have impacted the cultural landscape, and how attitudes could change toward the folk arts. We discuss the evaluation and impact agenda of arts councils (and other funders) and if the data supplied by organisations such as Trac Cymru ever leads to real development of the culture sector.
Visit Trac Cymru’s website for information and resources about their work and Welsh folk arts.
Download the Arts Council of Wales’s Investment Review 2023 Report and Decisions from their website.
England
The English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) is England’s largest folk development organisation. Chief executive and artistic director Katy Spicer talks about their work with education and artist development, as well as supporting the folk scene through the Vaughan William Memorial Library. Katy discusses the increasing demand on the arts to prove their worth with politicians and funders, and the changes she has noticed through the years. We also hear about the EFDSS’ own policies and how, for example, their stance against blackface makeup in morris dancing has supported real change within the folk scene.

Episode 3: Scotland and the Convention
Welcome to The Access Folk Podcast and our special series on Folk Arts, Cultural Policy and UNESCO’s 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. These show notes provide context for the episodes and link to more sources about the topics we cover.
In this third and last episode, Esbjörn Wettemark talks to Steve Byrne from Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland and shares a recording from the project's final workshop at the University of Sheffield. At the start of the episode Esbjörn introduces UNESCO’s 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, and the current discussion around its implementation across the UK.
The Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
The Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage is a framework developed by UNESCO to safeguard cultural practices across the globe. In short, the Convention asks state signatories to compile an inventory of the intangible cultural heritage within their borders and create strategies for safeguarding these practices for future generations. The UK is a late signatory of the Convention, which entered into force in the UK in June 2024. Esbjörn introduces the initial discussions around the implementation but, as of October 2024, formal guidelines are still being worked on by the UK’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Read more about the Convention and browse UNESCO’s lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage on their website.
Scotland
Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland (TRACS) director Steve Byrne introduces the work of their three forums on music, dance, and storytelling. He talks about key reports that have influenced how they work, and gives examples of how some government policies, for example on minority languages, are relevant for the folk arts. Even before the UK’s ratification, TRACS has supported Intangible Cultural Heritage policies in Scotland for some years. Steve describes a mapping report on Intangible Cultural Heritage he worked on with several partners in the Scottish cultural sector. He also notes TRACS’s recent accreditation as a NGO Advisor to UNESCO on Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Creative Scotland Strategic Framework can be downloaded from their website.
Workshop
In October 2024 all of the people featured in this podcast series met at the University of Sheffield to discuss the UK’s implementation of the Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage. Dan Woodfield, from the Cornish folk arts organisation Lowender, also joined to share their regional perspectives on folk arts, policy and the Convention. The group noted how being a signatory to the Convention has allowed new conversations and networks to develop, both with policy makers and other arts organisations, even before the work of implementation has really gotten started in the UK. Their discussion highlighted risks with the implementation process, especially the potential for cultural practices with strong organisational backing to be recognised at the expense of equally valuable community practices without clear organisational structures. The group argued that folk arts organisations and their networks have a role to play in supporting an equitable implementation process.

Sraith speisialta: Ealaín na nDaoine, Polasaí agus an Coinbhinsiún
Eagrán 1: Oileán Mhanann agus Tuaisceart Éireann
Fáilte go dtí The Access Folk Podcast agus ár sraith speisialta ar Ealaíona na nDaoine, Polasaí Cultúrtha agus Coinbhinsiún 2003 EOECNA (UNESCO) maidir le Caomhnú na hOidhreachta Cultúrtha Doláimhsithe. Tugann na nótaí seó seo comhthéacs do na heagráin agus nascann siad le tuilleadh foinsí faoi na hábhair a chlúdaímid
Sa chéad eagrán labhraíonn Esbjörn Wettemark le Breesha Maddrell ó Culture Vannin ar Oileán Mhanann agus Ciarán Ó Maoláin ó Chumann Píobairí Ard Mhacha i dTuaisceart Éireann. Ag tús an eagráin cuireann Esbjörn i láthair na téarmaí ealaín na ndaoine agus polasaí.
Cad é Ealaín na nDaoine?
Níl aon sainmhíniú amháin ann ar an rud is ealaíona na ndaoine. Leoga, úsáideann eagraíochtaí éagsúla atá páirteach sa tionscadal seo téarmaí eile, amhail ealaíona traidisiúnta, nó meascáin amhail ealaíona na ndaoine agus traidisiúin damhsa. Cuireann Esbjörn síos ar an tsainmhíniú an-leathan a úsáidimid, ‘foirmeacha ealaíne agus stíleanna léirithe cultúrtha atá bunaithe ar an tseachadadh béil, a bhfuil ciall iontu do bhaint le háit, agus a ndearcann cleachtóirí orthu mar chuid de chultúr pobail - rud a bhaineann le saol an uile lae seachas a bheith mar chuid d’fhoirm ealaíne institiúidithe’. Is féidir an-mhórán ciall a bheith ag focail mar na ndaoine nó traidisiúnta ag brath ar an chomhthéacs agus is féidir leat tuilleadh eolais faoi seo a fháil san ábhar léitheoireachta breise thíos.
Cad é Polasaí?
Thig le Polasaí a bheith ina fhocal cleasach, ach tagraíonn sé de ghnáth do chinneadh nó do phlean gníomhaíochta atá déanta ag rialtas nó eagraíocht le toradh áirithe a chinntiú. Is túsphointe iontach é suíomh gréasáin an tsaineolaí polasaí an tOllamh Paul Cairney le foghlaim faoi cad é polasaí agus cad é mar a oibríonn ceapadh polasaí agus taighde ar pholasaí sa Ríocht Aontaithe.
Oileán Mhanann
Is é Culture Vannin príomheagraíocht ealaíon Oileán Mhanann. Tá siad lonnaithe in Balley Keeill Eoin (St. John’s) i lár an oileáin. Labhraíonn an stiúrthóir Breesha Maddrell faoi chomhthéacs faoi leith Oileán Mhanann agus an dóigh a n-oibríonn siad le Isle of Man Arts Council agus leis an rialtas. Pléann sí tábhacht polasaithe teanga agus tionscadal Bisféir EOECNA (UNESCO)

Tuaisceart Éireann
Bunaíodh Cumann Píobairí Ard Mhacha in Ard Mhacha in 1966 agus tá siad ar cheann de na heagraíochtaí ceoil thraidisiúnta is sine i dTuaisceart Éireann. Labhraíonn rúnaí an chumainn, Ciarán Ó Maoláin, faoi stair an chumainn agus a gcaidreamh fada le Comhairle Ealaíon Thuaisceart Éireann. Cuireann sé síos ar a gcuid oibre i gcomhthéacs an teannais idir pobail agus an dóchas atá aige go mbeidh athruithe polasaí agus forbairt sa réigiún.

Eagrán 2: An Bhreatain Bheag agus Sasana
Fáilte go dtí The Access Folk Podcast agus ár sraith speisialta ar Ealaíona na nDaoine, Polasaí Cultúrtha agus Coinbhinsiún 2003 EOECNA (UNESCO) maidir le Caomhnú na hOidhreachta Cultúrtha Doláimhsithe. Tugann na nótaí seó seo comhthéacs do na heagráin agus nascann siad le tuilleadh foinsí faoi na hábhair a chlúdaímid
Sa dara heagrán labhraíonn Esbjörn Wettermark le Danny Kilbride ó Trac Cymry sa Bhreatain Bheag agus Katy Spicer ó English Folk Dance and Song Society i Sasana. Ag tús an eagráin cuireann Esbjörn i láthair ról na gcomhairlí ealaíon agus a gcuid oibre ar fud na n-oileán.
Comhairleí ealaíon
Ó na 1990í i leith, tá an cultúr ina cheist chineachta sa Ríocht Aontaithe. Le 30 bliain anuas tá Comhairle Ealaíon Thuaisceart Éireann, Arts Council England, Cyngor Celfyddydau (Comhairle Ealaíon na Breataine Bige) agus Alba Chruthachail i ndiaidh forbairt i dtreonna éagsúla. Is comhlachtaí páirtspleácha iad na comhairlí ealaíon go léir, seachas Isle of Man Arts Council, a bhfuil baint níos gaire ag le rialtas Oileán Mhanann: scaipeann siad go léir maoiniú rialtais ar ealaíontóirí agus eagraíochtaí, cuireann siad ar fáil tacaíocht, agus déanann siad monatóireacht ar obair eagraíochtaí maoinithe ina gceantair, ach feidhmíonn siad neamhspleách ar mhaoirseacht dhíreach ón rialtas. San eagrán, pléann Esbjörn cuid den obair a dhéanann na comhairlí ealaíon agus cuireann sé i láthair an tuairisc State of the Art report, a chuireann ar fáil comparáid éigin idir a róil ar fud na n-oileán.
An Bhreatain Bheag
Is eagraíocht forbartha ealaíon na ndaoine é Trac Cymru a thacaíonn le healaíontóirí gairmiúla agus gníomhaíochtaí pobail ar fud na Breataine Bige. Labhraíonn a stiúrthóir Danny KilBride faoi stair na heagraíochta agus a gcuid oibre chun daoine a mhealladh le healaín na ndaoine. Labhraíonn sé faoin dóigh ar imir athruithe i bpolasaithe teanga sa Bhreatain Bheag tionchar ar an tírdhreach chultúrtha, agus an dóigh a bhféadfadh meon daoine athrú i leith ealaíona na ndaoine. Pléimid clár oibre measúnaithe agus tionchair na gcomhairlí ealaíon (agus maoinitheoirí eile) agus an bhfuil na sonraí a chuireann eagraíochtaí mar Trac Cymru ina gcúis riamh le fíorfhorbairt na hearnála cultúir.

Is é English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) an eagraíocht forbartha chultúr na ndaoine i Sasana. Labhraíonn an príomhfheidhmeannach agus stiúrthóir ealaíne Katy Spicer faoina gcuid oibre le forbairt oideachais agus ealaíontóra, chomh maith le tacú le saol chultúr na ndaoine tríd an Vaughan William Memorial Library. Pléann Katy an t-éileamh atá ag méadú ar na healaíona a bhfiúntas a chruthú le polaiteoirí agus maoinitheoirí, agus na hathruithe atá tugtha faoi deara aici i rith na mblianta. Cluinimid fosta faoi pholasaithe EFDSS féin agus cad é mar atá a seasamh i gcoinne dath dubh a chur ar aghaidh sa damhsa Mhúrach, mar shampla, i ndiaidh tacú le fíorathrú i saol chultúr na ndaoine.

Eagrán 3: Albain agus an Coinbhinsiún
Fáilte go dtí The Access Folk Podcast agus ár sraith speisialta ar Ealaíona na nDaoine, Polasaí Cultúrtha agus Coinbhinsiún 2003 EOECNA (UNESCO) maidir le Caomhnú na hOidhreachta Cultúrtha Doláimhsithe. Tugann na nótaí seó seo comhthéacs do na heagráin agus nascann siad le tuilleadh foinsí faoi na hábhair a chlúdaímid
Sa tríú heagrán seo, an t-eagrán deiridh, labhraíonn Esbjörn Wettemark le Steve Byrne ó Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland agus comhroinneann sé taifeadadh ó cheardlann deiridh an tionscadail ag University of Sheffield. Ag tús an eagráin cuireann Esbjörn Coinbhinsiún 2003 EOECNA (UNESCO) maidir le Caomhnú na hOidhreachta Cultúrtha Doláimhsithe, agus an plé reatha timpeall ar a chur i bhfeidhm ar fud na Ríochta Aontaithe.
An Coinbhinsiún maidir le Caomhnú na hOidhreachta Cultúrtha Doláimhsithe
Is é atá sa Choinbhinsiún maidir le Caomhnú na hOidhreachta Cultúrtha Doláimhsithe ná creatlach arna fhorbairt ag EOECNA chun cleachtais chultúrtha a chaomhnú ar fud na cruinne. Go hachomair, iarrann an Coinbhinsiún ar shínitheoirí stáit fardal a thiomsú ar an oidhreacht chultúrtha dholáimhsithe laistigh dá dteorainneacha agus straitéisí a chruthú chun na cleachtais seo a chaomhnú do na glúine amach anseo. Is sínitheoir mall ar an Choinbhinsiún í an Ríocht Aontaithe, a tháinig i bhfeidhm sa Ríocht Aontaithe i mí an Mheithimh 2024. Cuireann Esbjörn i láthair na chéad chomhráite maidir leis an gcur i bhfeidhm ach, ó mhí Dheireadh Fómhair 2024 i leith, tá Roinn Cultúir, Meán agus Spóirt na Ríochta Aontaithe fós ag obair ar threoirlínte foirmiúla.

Cuireann stiúrthóir Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland (TRACS) Steve Byrne i láthair obair a dtrí fhóram ar cheol, damhsa agus scéalaíocht. Labhraíonn sé ansin faoi phríomhthuairiscí a d’imir tionchar ar an dóigh a n-oibríonn siad, agus tugann sé samplaí den dóigh a bhfuil cuid de na polasaithe rialtais, mar shampla, ar mhionteangacha, ábhartha d’ealaíona na ndaoine. Fiú roimh dhaingniú na Ríochta Aontaithe, thacaigh TRACS le polasaithe maidir le hOidhreacht Chultúrtha Dholáimhsithe ar feadh tamall de bhlianta. Cuireann Steve síos ar thuairisc mhapála ar Oidhreacht Chultúrtha ar oibrigh sé air le dornán compháirtithe in earnáil chultúrtha na hAlban. Tugann sé faoi deara chomh maith creidiúnú TRACS mar Chomhairleoir Eagraíochta Neamhrialtasaí do EOECNA ar Oidhreacht Chultúrtha Dhomhláimhsithe..

I mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2024 tháinig na daoine go léir a bhí sa phodchraoladh seo i gceann a chéile sa University of Sheffield le cur i bhfeidhm na Ríochta Aontaithe . an Choinbhinsiúin maidir le hOidhreacht Chultúrtha Dhomhláimhsithe a phlé. Bhí Dan Woodfield, ó oidhreacht ealaíona na ndaoine i gCorn na Breataine, Lowender, i láthair chomh maith chun a léargais réigiúnacha ar ealaíona na ndaoine, polasaí agus an Coinbhinsiún. Nótáil an grúpa an dóigh go rabhthas in ann comhráite agus líonraí nua a fhorbairt mar gheall ar bheith ina shínitheoir ar an Choinbhinsiún, le lucht ceaptha polasaí agus eagraíochtaí ealaíon eile araon, fiú sula bhfuil obair an churtha i bhfeidhm tosaithe i ndáiríre sa Ríocht Aontaithe. Tharraing a bplé aird ar rioscaí a bhaineann leis an phróiseas curtha i bhfeidhm, go háirithe an fhéidearthacht a bhaineann le cleachtais chultúrtha le tacaíocht láidir eagraíochtúil a bheith aitheanta ach cleachtais phobail lán chomh luachmhar a bheith thíos leis gan struchtúir shoiléire eagraíochtúla. D’áitigh an grúpa go bhfuil ról le himirt ag eagraíochtaí ealaíona na ndaoine maidir le tacú le próiseas curtha i bhfeidhm chothromasaigh.

Sreath sònraichte: Ealainean an t-Sluaigh, Poileasaidh agus an Cunnradh
Eapasod 1: Eilean Mhanainn agus Èirinn a Tuath
Fàilte dhan Access Folk Podcast agus dhan t-sreath shònraichte againn mu Ealainean an t-Sluaigh, Poileasaidh Cultarach agus Cunnradh UNESCO 2003 air Barantachadh Dualchais Chultaraich Neo-stuthaich. Tha nòtaichean nam prògraman an seo a’ toirt seachad co-theacsa airson nam prògram agus tha ceanglaichean ann ri barrachd thùsan fiosrachaidh mu na cuspairean air a bheil sinn a’ coimhead.
Anns a’ chiad phrògram tha Esbjörn Wettemark a’ bruidhinn ri Breesha Maddrell aig Culture Vannin ann an Eilean Mhanainn agus ri Ciarán Ó Maoláin aig Club Phìobairean Ard Mhacha ann an Èirinn a Tuath. Aig toiseach a’ phrògram tha Esbjörn a’ toirt a-steach nan teirmean ealainean an t-sluaigh is poileasaidh.
Dè th’ ann an Ealainean an t-Sluaigh?
Chan eil aon mhìneachadh ann air na tha ealainean an t-sluaigh a’ ciallachadh. Gu dearbh, bidh grunn de na buidhnean a tha an sàs sa phròiseact seo a’ cleachdadh briathran eile, leithid na h-ealainean traidiseanta, no measgachaidhean leithid traidiseanan ceòl dùthchasach agus dannsaidh. Tha am mìneachadh fìor fharsaing a tha sinn a’ cleachdadh air a mhìneachadh le Esbjörn mar ‘chruthan ealain agus stoidhlichean de chur an cèill cultarail a tha stèidhichte ann am beul aithris, aig a bheil faireachdainn de cheangal ri àite, agus a tha air am faicinn le cleachdaichean mar phàirt de chultar an t-sluaigh – rudeigin ceangailte ri beatha làitheil seach a bhith mar phàirt de chruth ealain stèidhichte institiuideach’ Faodaidh iomadh ciall eadar-dhealaichte a bhith aig faclan leithid sluagh no traidiseanta a rèir a’ cho-theach agus gheibhear barrachd fiosrachaidh mu dheidhinn seo anns na molaidhean leughaidhean gu h-ìosal.
Dè th’ ann am Poileasaidh?
Tha poileasaidh uaireannan na fhacal doirbh, ach mas as trice, tha e a’ ciallachadh co-dhùnadh no plana gnìomhach a ghabhas riaghaltas no buidheann gus amas sònraichte a choileanadh. Tha làrach-lìn an eòlaiche poileasaidh an Àrd-oll. Paul Cairney na dheagh thoiseach tòiseachaidh gus ionnsachadh mu dè a th’ ann am poileasaidh agus mar a tha dèanamh poileasaidh agus rannsachadh air poileasaidh ag obair san RA.
Eilean Mhanainn
’S e Culture Vannin a’ phrìomh bhuidheann leasachadh ealain ann am Manainn. Tha iad stèidhichte ann am Balley Keeil Eoin (St John’s) ann am meadhan an eilein. Tha an stiùiriche Breesha Maddrell a’ bruidhinn air co-theacs sònraichte Mhanainn agus air mar a tha iad ag obair le Comhairle Ealain Eilean Mhanainn agus le Riaghaltas Mhanainn. Tha i a’ bruidhinn mu dheidhinn cho cudromach ’s a tha poileasaidhean cànain agus pròiseact Biosphere UNESCO.

Èirinn a Tuath
Chaidh Club Phìobairean Ard Mhacha a stèidheachadh ann an Ard Mhacha ann an 1966 agus tha e air aon de na còmhlain ciùil Èireannach traidiseanta as sine ann an Èirinn a Tuath. Tha rùnaire a’ chluba, Ciarán Ó Maoláin, a’ bruidhinn air eachdraidh a’ chluba agus mun dàimh sheasmhach a th’ aca le Comhairle Ealain Èirinn a Tuath. Tha e a’ toirt cunntas air an obair aca ann an co-theacsa còmhstri eadar-choimhearsnachdan agus na dòchasan aige airson atharrachaidhean poileasaidh agus leasachadh san sgìre.

Eapasod 2: A’ Chuimrigh agus Sasainn
Fàilte dhan Access Folk Podcast agus dhan t-sreath shònraichte againn mu Ealainean an t-Sluaigh, Poileasaidh Cultarach agus Cunnradh UNESCO 2003 air Barantachadh Dualchas Cultarach Neo-stuthach. Tha nòtaichean nam prògraman an seo a’ toirt seachad co-theacsa airson nam prògraman agus tha ceanglaichean ann ri barrachd thùsan fiosrachaidh mu na cuspairean air a bheil sinn a’ coimhead.
Anns an dàrna prògram tha Esbjörn Wettemark a’ bruidhinn ri Danny KilBride aig Trac Cymru sa Chuimrigh agus ri Katy Spicer aig an English Folk Dance and Song Society ann an Sasainn. Aig toiseach a’ phrògraim tha Esbjörn a’ toirt seachad geàrr-chunntas air àite nan Comhairlean Ealain agus an cuid obrach air feadh nan eilean.
Comhairlean nan Ealainean
Tha cultar air a bhith na chùis thiomnaichte san RA bho na 1990an. Mar sin, thairis air an 30 bliadhna mu dheireadh, tha Comhairle Ealain Èireann a Tuath, Comhairle Ealain Shasainn, Comhairle Ealain na Cuimrigh agus Alba Chruthachail, air fàs ann an diofar dhòighean. Tha na comhairlean ealain uile – ach a-mhàin Comhairle Ealain Mhanainn, aig a bheil ceangal nas dlùithe ri riaghaltas Mhanainn – nam buidhnean ‘leth-eisimeileach’: bidh iad uile a’ toirt maoineachadh riaghaltais do luchd-ealain agus do bhuidhnean, a’ toirt seachad taic, agus a’ sgrùdadh obair bhuidhnean maoinichte sna raointean aca, ach tha iad ag obair gu neo-eisimeileach bho stiùireadh dìreach bhon riaghaltas. Anns a’ phrògram, tha Esbjörn a’ bruidhinn air cuid den obair a bhios na comhairlean ealain a’ dèanamh agus a’ toirt seachad geàrr-chunntas air an aithisg State of the Art, a tha a’ dèanamh coimeas eadar na dleastanasan aca air feadh nan eilean.
A’ Chuimrigh
Tha Trac Cymru na bhuidheann leasachaidh ealain airson ealainean an t-sluaigh a tha a’ cumail taic ri gach cuid luchd-ealain proifeasanta agus gnìomhachd coimhearsnachd air feadh na Cuimrigh. Tha an stiùiriche Danny KilBride a’ bruidhinn air eachdraidh na buidhne agus air an obair aca gus dèanamh cinnteach gum bi daoine an sàs ann an ealainean an t-sluaigh. Tha e a’ bruidhinn air mar a thug atharraichean ann am poileasaidhean na Cuimris buaidh air a’ chruth-tìre chultarach, agus mar a dh’fhaodadh beachdan atharrachadh a thaobh ealainean an t-sluaigh. Tha sinn a’ bruidhinn mu mheasadh agus buaidh nan comhairlean ealain (agus luchd-maoineachaidh eile) agus a bheil an dàta a tha buidhnean leithid Trac Cymru a’ toirt seachad ag adhbharachadh leasachadh an da-rìribh air roinn a’ chultair.
Faic làrach-lìn Trac Cymru airson fiosrachadh agus goireasan mun obair aca agus mu ealainean an t-sluaigh sa Cuimrigh.
Luchdaich a-nuas Investment Review 2023 Report and Decisions aig Comhairle Ealain na Cuimrigh bhon làraich-lìn aca.
Sasainn
Is e an English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) a’ bhuidheann leasachaidh as motha ann an Sasainn airson Ealainean an t-Sluaigh. Tha an t-àrd-oifigear agus an stiùiriche ealain Katy Spicer a’ bruidhinn mun obair aca a thaobh foghlam agus leasachadh luchd-ealain, a bharrachd air a bhith a’ toirt taic do shaoghal ealainean an t-sluaigh tro Leabharlann Cuimhneachaidh Vaughan Williams. Tha Katy a’ bruidhinn air an iarrtas a tha a’ sìor fhàs bho luchd-poilitigs agus luchd-maoineachaidh gum bu chòir dhaibh luach nan ealainean a dhearbhadh, agus air na h-atharrachaidhean a tha i air fhaicinn tro na bliadhnaichean. Cluinnidh sinn cuideachd mu phoileasaidhean an EFDSS fhèin agus, mar eisimpleir, mun t-seasamh aca an-aghaidh daoine a bhith a’ cur aghaidh-dubh orra ann an dannsa morris agus mar a tha seo air taic a chumail ri fìor atharrachadh ann an saoghal ealainean an t-sluaigh.

Cunnradh air Barantachadh Dualchais Chultaraich Neo-stuthaich
Tha an Cunnradh air Barantachadh Dualchais Chultaraich Neo-stuthaich na fhrèam a chaidh a chruthachadh le UNESCO gus cleachdaidhean cultarail air feadh na cruinne a dhìon. Ann an aithghearrachd, tha an Cunnradh ag iarraidh air stàitean a tha air a shoidhnigeadh clàr a chur ri chèile den dualchas chultarail neo-stuthach taobh a-staigh nan crìochan aca agus ro-innleachdan a chruthachadh gus na cleachdaidhean sin a dhìon do na ginealaichean ri teachd. Chuir an RA ainm ris a’ Chunnradh greis às dèidh dha a bhith air fhoillseachadh agus chaidh a chur an gnìomh san RA san Ògmhios 2024. Tha Esbjörn a’ toirt seachad geàrr-chunntas air na còmhraidhean tòiseachail mu bhuileachadh ach, san Dàmhair 2024, bha Roinn Cultar, Meadhanan is Spòrs na RA fhathast ag obair air stiùireadh foirmeil.

Fiù ’s mus deach a dhaingneachadh leis an RA, tha TRACS air taic a thoirt do phoileasaidhean Dualchas Cultarach Neo-stuthach ann an Alba fad grunn bhliadhnaichean.

Cyfres arbennig: Celfyddydau Gwerin, Polisi a'r Confensiwn
Pennod 1: Ynys Manaw a Gogledd Iwerddon
Croeso i The Access Folk Podcast a'n cyfres arbennig ar Gelfyddydau Gwerin, Polisi Diwylliannol a Chonfensiwn 2003 UNESCO ar gyfer Diogelu Treftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol. Mae'r nodiadau sioe hyn yn rhoi cyd-destun ar gyfer y penodau ac yn rhoi dolenni i fwy o ffynonellau am y pynciau yr ydym yn ymdrin â nhw.
Yn y bennod gyntaf mae Esbjörn Wettemark yn siarad â Breesha Maddress o Culture Vannin ar Ynys Manaw a Ciarán Ó Maoláin o Armagh Pipers Club yng Ngogledd Iwerddon. Ar ddechrau'r bennod mae Esbjörn yn cyflwyno'r termau celfyddydau gwerin a pholisi.
Beth yw Celfyddydau Gwerin?
Nid oes un diffiniad penodol o'r hyn sy'n gyfystyr â'r celfyddydau gwerin. Mewn gwirionedd, mae nifer o'r sefydliadau sy'n ymwneud â'r prosiect hwn yn defnyddio termau gwahanol, megis celfyddydau traddodiadol, neu gyfuniadau fel cerddoriaeth werin a thraddodiadau dawns. Mae'r diffiniad eang iawn a ddefnyddir gennym wedi'u disgrifio gan Esbjörn fel 'ffurfiau celfyddydol ac arddulliau mynegiant diwylliannol sy'n seiliedig mewn trosglwyddiad llafar, sydd ag ymdeimlad o gysylltiad â lle, ac sy'n cael eu hystyried gan ymarferwyr yn rhan o ddiwylliant pobl - rhywbeth sy'n gysylltiedig â bywyd bob dydd yn hytrach na bod yn rhan o ffurf gelfyddydol sefydliadol.' Gall geiriau fel gwerin neu draddodiadol fod â llawer o ystyron gwahanol yn dibynnu ar y cyd-destun a gallwch ddod o hyd i ragor o wybodaeth am hyn y darlleniadau pellach isod.
Beth yw Polisi?
Gall Polisi fod yn air anodd, ond yn gyffredinol mae'n cyfeirio at benderfyniadau neu gynllun gweithredu a gymerir gan lywodraeth neu sefydliad i sicrhau canlyniad penodol. Mae gwefan arbenigwr polisi yr Athro Paul Cairney [] yn lle gwych i ddechrau dysgu am beth yw polisi a sut y mae lunio polisïau ac ymchwil ar bolisi yn gweithio yn y DU.
Ynys Manaw
Culture Vannin yw prif sefydliad datblygu'r celfyddydau Ynys Manaw. Maent wedi'u lleoli yn St John's yng nghanol yr ynys. Mae'r Cyfarwyddwr Breesha Maddrell yn siarad am gyd-destun penodol Ynys Manaw a sut y maent yn gweithio gyda Chyngor Celfyddydau Ynys Manaw a Llywodraeth Ynys Manaw. Mae hi'n trafod pwysigrwydd polisïau iaith a phrosiect Biosffer UNESCO.

Gogledd Iwerddon
Sefydlwyd Armagh Pipers Club yn Armagh ym 1966 ac mae'n un o'r sefydliadau cerddoriaeth draddodiadol hynaf yng Ngogledd Iwerddon. Mae ysgrifennydd y clwb, Ciarán Ó Maoláin, yn siarad am hanes y clwb a'i berthynas hir â Chyngor Celfyddydau Gogledd Iwerddon.

Pennod 2: Cymru a Lloegr
Croeso i The Access Folk Podcast a'n cyfres arbennig ar Gelfyddydau Gwerin, Polisi Diwylliannol a Chonfensiwn 2003 UNESCO ar gyfer Diogelu Treftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol. Mae'r nodiadau sioe hyn yn rhoi cyd-destun ar gyfer y penodau ac yn rhoi dolenni i fwy o ffynonellau am y pynciau yr ydym yn ymdrin â nhw.
Yn yr ail bennod mae Esbjörn Wettemark yn siarad â Danny KilBride o Trac Cymru yng Nghymru a Katy Spicer o Gymdeithas Dawns a Chân Werin Lloegr yn Lloegr. Ar ddechrau'r bennod mae Esbjörn yn cyflwyno rôl Cynghorau Celfyddydau a'u gwaith ar draws yr ynysoedd.
Cynghorau Celfyddydau
Ers y 1990au, mae diwylliant wedi bod yn fater datganoledig yn y DU. Dros y 30 mlynedd diwethaf, mae Cyngor Celfyddydau Gogledd Iwerddon, Cyngor Celfyddydau Lloegr, Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru a'r Alban Greadigol, o ganlyniad, wedi datblygu i gyfeiriadau gwahanol. Mae pob cyngor celfyddydau - ar wahân i Gyngor Celfyddydau Ynys Manaw, sydd â chysylltiad agosach a llywodraeth Ynys Manaw - yn sefydliadau ‘hyd braich‘ fel y'u gelwir: maent i gyd yn dosbarthu cyllid y llywodraeth i artistiaid a sefydliadau, yn darparu cymorth, ac yn monitro gwaith sefydliadau a ariennir yn eu hardaloedd, ond yn gweithredu'n annibynnol ar oruchwyliaeth uniongyrchol gan y llywodraeth. Yn y bennod, mae Esbjörn yn trafod peth o'r gwaith y mae cynghorau'r celfyddydau yn ei wneud ac yn cyflwyno'r adroddiad Cyflwr y Gelf, sy'n rhoi rhywfaint o gymhariaeth o'u rolau ar draws yr ynysoedd.
Cymru
Mae Trac Cymru yn sefydliad datblygu celfyddydau gwerin sy'n cefnogi artistiaid proffesiynol a gweithgareddau cymunedol ledled Cymru. Mae'r Cyfarwyddwr Danny KilBride yn siarad am hanes y sefydliad a'i waith i ennyn diddordeb pobl yn y celfyddydau gwerin. Mae'n sôn am sut y mae newidiadau ym mholisïau'r Gymraeg wedi effeithio ar y dirwedd ddiwylliannol, a sut y gallai agweddau newid tuag at y celfyddydau gwerin. Rydym yn trafod agenda gwerthuso ac effaith cynghorau celfyddydau (a chyllidwyr eraill) ac a yw'r data a roddir gan sefydliadau fel Trac Cymru byth yn arwain at ddatblygiad gwirioneddol y sector diwylliant

Pennod 3: Yr Alban a'r Confensiwn
Croeso i The Access Folk Podcast a'n cyfres arbennig ar Gelfyddydau Gwerin, Polisi Diwylliannol a Chonfensiwn 2003 UNESCO ar gyfer Diogelu Treftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol. Mae'r nodiadau sioe hyn yn rhoi cyd-destun ar gyfer y penodau ac yn rhoi dolenni i fwy o ffynonellau am y pynciau yr ydym yn ymdrin â nhw.
Yn y drydedd bennod a'r olaf, mae Esbjörn Wettemark yn siarad â Steve Byrne o Gelfyddydau Traddodiadol a Diwylliant yr Alban ac yn rhannu recordiad o weithdy olaf y prosiect ym Mhrifysgol Sheffield. Ar ddechrau'r bennod, mae Esbjörn yn cyflwyno Confensiwn 2003 UNESCO ar gyfer Diogelu'r Dreftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol, a'r drafodaeth gyfredol ynghylch ei weithredu ledled y DU.
Y Confensiwn ar gyfer Diogelu'r Dreftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol
Mae'r Confensiwn ar Dreftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol yn fframwaith a ddatblygwyd gan UNESCO i ddiogelu arferion diwylliannol ledled y byd. Yn fyr, mae'r Confensiwn yn gofyn i lofnodwyr gwladwriaethol lunio rhestr o'r dreftadaeth ddiwylliannol anniriaethol o fewn eu ffiniau a chreu strategaethau ar gyfer diogelu'r arferion hyn ar gyfer cenedlaethau'r dyfodol. Mae'r DU yn un o lofnodwyr hwyr y Confensiwn, a ddaeth i rym yn y DU ym mis Mehefin 2024. Mae Esbjörn yn cyflwyno'r trafodaethau cychwynnol ynghylch y gweithredu ond, o fis Hydref 2024, mae Adran Diwylliant, y Cyfryngau a Chwaraeon y DU yn dal i weithio ar ganllawiau ffurfiol.

Yr Alban
Mae Cyfarwyddwr Celfyddydau Traddodiadol a Diwylliant yr Alban (TRACS) Steve Byrne yn cyflwyno gwaith eu tri fforwm ar gerddoriaeth, dawns ac adrodd straeon. Mae'n sôn am adroddiadau allweddol sydd wedi dylanwadu ar sut maen nhw'n gweithio, ac mae'n rhoi enghreifftiau o sut y mae rhai polisïau'r llywodraeth, er enghraifft y rhai ar ieithoedd lleiafrifol, yn berthnasol i'r celfyddydau gwerin. Hyd yn oed cyn i'r DU gael ei chadarnhau, mae TRACS wedi cefnogi polisïau Treftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol yn yr Alban ers rhai blynyddoedd. Mae Steve yn disgrifio adroddiad mapio ar Dreftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol y bu'n gweithio arno gyda sawl partner yn sector diwylliannol yr Alban. Mae hefyd yn nodi achrediad diweddar TRACS fel Ymgnghorydd Cyrff Anllywodraethol i UNESCO ar Dreftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol.

Gweithdy
Ym mis Hydref 2024 cyfarfu pob un o'r bobl sydd wedi bod yn rhan o'r gyfres hon o bodlediadau ym Mhrifysgol Sheffield i drafod gweithrediad y Confensiwn ar Dreftadaeth Ddiwylliannol Anniriaethol yn y DU. Yn ogystal, ymunodd Dan Woodfield, o'r sefydliad celfyddydau gwerin Cernywaidd Lowender, i rannu eu safbwyntiau rhanbarthol ar y celfyddydau gwerin, polisi a'r Confensiwn. Nododd y grŵp sut y mae bod yn un o lofnodwyr y Confensiwn wedi caniatáu i sgyrsiau a rhwydweithiau newydd ddatblygu, gyda llunwyr polisi a sefydliadau celfyddydol eraill, hyd yn oed cyn i'r gwaith gweithredu ddechrau yn y DU. Amlygodd eu trafodaeth risgiau gyda'r broses weithredu, yn enwedig y potensial i arferion diwylliannol gyda chefnogaeth sefydliadol gref gael eu cydnabod ar draul arferion cymunedol yr un mor werthfawr heb strwythurau sefydliadol clir. Bu i'r grŵp ddadlau bod gan sefydliadau celfyddydau gwerin a'u rhwydweithiau rôl i'w chwarae wrth gefnogi proses weithredu deg.
