Eurig Salisbury

Towards the end of last year, the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales made a recommendation to Welsh Government: nature should have a voice in decisions about flood policy and infrastructure. Today we ask, why? How? And what difference would it make - if nature had a voice? ffinlo Costain is joined by Dr David Clubb, Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales, and Eurig Salisbury, a poet and lecturer at Aberystwyth University.

Croeso i bennod arbennig o Clera wrth inni edrych ymlaen at Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Wrecsam. Y tro hwn, rydyn ni'n pwnco am draddodiad 'y cyff clêr' gyda'r Prif Lenor Eurig Salisbury yn y gornel las ac Yr Islwyn yn Ymryson y Beirdd, Gruffudd Antur yn ei wynebu yn y gornel goch!

Many different voices emerged during our workshops and for the last episode of our podcast, we curated a poem from these diverse voices. It is a collective poem, created with responses shared by children to a one-line exercise on the idea of Liberty. Their concerns range from freedom in personal spaces as well as the outside world. Perhaps, you may find your own thoughts and feelings somewhere in this amalgam. This is the last episode in our podcast but our collective endeavour to make sense of our complicated and intertwined histories must continue. We hope the podcast created a shared space to discover what we may not have experienced, to find resonance with another’s world. The children’s words, the children’s voices can help us find, reinforce and celebrate the plurality that lies in the idea of Hum Hindustani.
