Fusion is a drama project for females initially based across Cardiff, bringing different groups together in order to empower and enable them to learn about, and from, each other. Set up by two past trainees of Fio’s participatory artists training programme, the project will provide a space for the girls to share their experiences, aspirations and realities. They will bring together people from different cultures, religions and locations, breaking down barriers and enabling new relationships and understandings to form. The project wants to challenge stereotypes and give females the confidence and skills to explore identity, and the role of women in society, essentially allowing them to be heard by the communities they derive from and society at large.
They will be delivering a Residency Programme for 3 days led by an all female team at St Davids Hall, Cardiff from Tuesday the 29th - Thursday 31st August 2017 - sessions will run from 10am-5pm with a sharing on the final day for friends and family and invited guests.

WCVA is seeking to commission an evaluation of the impact and process of the Volunteering Wales Grants and the impact of the Youth Led Grants.
Volunteering Wales Grants and Youth Led Grants are funded by the Welsh Government with the main aim of increasing volunteering activity across Wales. In April 2017, the Volunteering Wales Grants were awarded to 49 projects with a target to support 1758 individual volunteers to achieve 174,014 hours of volunteering by March 31st 2018.
In 2017/18, Youth Led Grants will be awarded by 19 Youth Led Grant panels (in one area, four grant panels are run as one). These grants will be allocated to local projects with the aim of providing youth led opportunities for a minimum of 50 young people, including the young people within the panel, providing opportunities for 1100 young people in total across Wales.
The evaluation will take place between September and November 2017 and the findings will influence the future developments of the Volunteering Wales and Youth Led Grants.
Full details of the evaluation can be seen here.
