2002: ‘Welcome Calcutta’ Campaign 2002: Ymgyrch ‘Croeso Calcutta’ 2002 was one of the years where Gwilym Davies’ dream became reality In that year the Urdd worked with Christian Aid on themes of poverty, homelessness and violence, focusing on the experiences of children and young people in Calcutta, India 2002 oedd un o’r blynyddoedd lle daeth breuddwyd Gwilym Davies yn wir. Yn y flwyddyn honno gweithiodd yr Urdd gyda Chymorth Cristnogol ar themâu tlodi, digartrefedd a thrais, gan ffocysu ar brofiadau plant a phobl ifanc Calcutta, India

2002: ‘Welcome Calcutta’ Campaign 2002: Ymgyrch ‘Croeso Calcutta’ Here’s a quote from the 2002 Message: “By sharing experiences and a new culture we can develop respect and love towards each other. By learning about each other, our friendship will build bridges and hopefully close the door on ignorance and open the door to justice and peace.” Dyma ddyfyniad o Neges 2002: “Drwy rannu profiadau a diwylliant newydd gallwn ddatblygu parch a chariad at eraill. Wrth ddysgu am ein gilydd byddwn yn pontio ein cyfeillgarwch, yn gobeithio cau bwlch anwybodaeth ac agor drysau cyfiawnder a heddwch.”

2002: ‘Welcome Calcutta’ Campaign 2002: Ymgyrch ‘Croeso Calcutta’ These were not just empty words, however. An exchange took place between young people from Wales and young people from Calcutta, so that they could meet, understand one another’s lives, and share their ideas. Watch the video on the next slide, where one young person looks back on this experience and its effect on her. Ond nid geiriau gwag oedd y rhain. Digwyddodd cyfnewid rhwng grŵp o bobl ifanc o Gymru a rhai o Calcutta fel y medrent gwrdd, deall bywydau ei gilydd, a rhannu syniadau. Edrychwch ar y fideo ar y sleid nesaf, lle mae person ifanc yn edrych yn ôl ar y profiad hwn, a’i effaith arni.
