Pictures rather than words / Lluniau yn hytrach na geiriau

This workshop from Lynne Morris and Samantha Davies of Cartrefi Cymru focused on using a participatory technique that is not dependent on literacy skills.

They used the example of healthy lifestyles to ensure that service users are aware of the choices available around following a healthy lifestyle and the benefits of following this.

A waistcoat that carried an extra stone in weight was used to show participants how it felt to carry around excess weight. An eatwell plate was used to look at healthy eating, and cards with the names of different foods got attendees thinking about which food groups they belonged to. A discussion was also had around the use of Talking Mats.


Fe wnaeth y gweithdy yma o Lynne Morris a Samantha Davies o Gartrefi Cymru ffocysu ar ddefnyddio techneg gyfranogol nad yw’n ddibynnol ar sgiliau llythrennedd.

Defnyddion nhw’r enghraifft o ffyrdd iach o fyw i sicrhau bod defnyddwyr gwasanaeth yn ymwybodol o’r dewisiadau sydd ar gael drwy fabwysiadu ffordd iach o fyw a buddiannau cadw at ffordd o’r fath o fyw.

Defnyddir gwasgod a oedd yn cario stôn ychwanegol mewn pwysau i ddangos i gyfranogwyr sut roedd e’n teimlo. Defnyddir plât 'eatwell' i edrych ar fwyta’n iach, a chardiau gydag enwau bwydydd gwahanol i gael mynychwyr i feddwl amdano ba grwpiau bwyd roedden nhw’n perthyn â. Roedd yna hefyd trafodaeth amdano 'Talking Mats'.
