Today, I'm off to the second WeAll Cymru Festival of Ideas.
I've written a piece about how @publicmap.bsky.social speaks to the Wellbeing Economy agenda and is a tangible tool and set of practices that contribute to shifting the system.

I love this quote... music is the space between the notes.
That notion that a certain amount of emptiness is appreciated.
That the space between, the liminal space, allows the notes to resonate, to reach their full potential.
That's where the music happens.

Public Map is a wonderful project to work on… and Tristian is fab. No doubt this will be a really interesting conversation.
Tune in to Radio Cymru this evening at 19:00 to hear Dr Tristian Evans talking about Public Map and in particular, mapping Ynys Mon’s music.

Look what I came across in the Pafiliwn Celf at the Urdd Eisteddfod!
A 2D map of Ynys Môn created by pupils from Canolfan Addysg y Bont - a school we, @publicmap.bsky.social, have been working with. Love that they chose to map!
Llongyfarchiadau to the children on their success at the ‘Steddfod 🙌🏻 🥉

It’s 5 years ago today that I published my first issue of Connecting the Dots.
I thought curating things that I come across might help save others time and hopefully would be of interest and useful to people.
And so, here we are about to publish Issue #209!
Diolch for your engagement and support.

Public Map Platform is a major collaborative research project led by Cambridge, Cardiff, Wrexham and Bangor Universities. Its aim is to show that a transparent and trustworthy planning system based on maps made by and for communities is really possible.

Loved reading 'Tir: The Story of the Welsh Landscape' by Carwyn Graves with @doersandimprovers.bsky.social. Beautiful book about the history of peoples' relationship with the land in Wales and how we might move forward in more sustainable ways.
