A NEW arts project in the Vale of Glamorgan aims to help visually impaired and blind children develop.
UCAN Bach is a new creative arts project giving visually impaired and blind children a chance to explore and thrive in their creativity.
The sessions are free and will take place in Ysgol Gymraeg Sant Baruc in Barry and Ysgol Gymraeg Pen-y-Garth in Penarth, starting on Thursday 16th January at 3.30pm.
Young children from 3 to 7 years old and their families will come together in an accessible, supportive environment to develop performing arts skills using songs, musical instruments, and drama games.
UCAN is about having fun and making new friends and is open to all. The practical aim is to develop personal, physical and vocal confidence through drama games, music and movement exercises.
A spokesperson for UCAN Bach said: “The earlier a child with sight loss engages with the arts, the sooner they will learn invaluable skills such as self-expression and communication and become more self-confident.”
This bilingual pilot project is funded by Arts Council of Wales and Vale of Glamorgan Council.
