Amcanion heddiw Today’s Objectives Ennill dealltwriaeth o waith Wise Cymru Nodi enghreifftiau cadarnhaol o weithio mewn partneriaeth o blith detholiad o astudiaethau achosion Nodi rhwystrau posibl i weithio mewn partneriaeth Creu atebion i’r rhwystrau hyn Meddwl am feithrin partneriaeth yn eich cyd- destun eich hun Gain an understanding of the work of Wise Wales Identify examples of positive partnership working from a selection of case studies Identify potential barriers to partnership working Generate solutions to these barriers Think about fostering partnership in your own context

Beth ywWhat is Wise Cymru?Wise Wales? Crewyd y prosiect yn 2009 gan gasgliad o fudiadau o fewn i’r sector addysg, sy’n rhannu’r un gred: Sef y dylai myfyrwyr fod yn bartneriaid cyfartal â’u prifysgolion mewn llunio penderfyniadau sy’n dylanwadu ac yn llunio eu haddysg eu hunain. Created in 2009, it’s a project driven by a collection of organisations within the education sector, who share the same belief: That students should be equal partners with their university in making the decisions that influence and shape their own education.

Ein PrifOur Primary Amcanion!Aims! Mae Wise Cymru yn canolbwyntio ar dri amcan: 1.Gosod gwerth ar adborth myfyrwyr 2.Ffrwyno eich arbenigedd 3.Galluogi myfyrwyr a phrifysgolion i weithio mewn partneriaeth The three aims that Wise Wales focuses on are: 1.Valuing student feedback 2.Harnessing your expertise 3.Enabling students and universities to work in partnership

Gweithio mewn Working in Partneriaeth Partnership Golyga hyn fod myfyrwyr a staff yng Nghymru’n gweithio gyda’i gilydd, sy’n galluogi dysgwyr i ddylanwadu a newid eu hamgylchedd. By this, we mean Welsh students and staff work together, which gives learners the ability to influence and change their environment.

Felly pam ydyn ni So why do we need angen Wise Cymru? Wise Wales? Oherwydd nad ydym yn credu mai dim ond defnyddwyr yw myfyrwyr! Because we don’t believe that students are simply consumers!

Students as partners Students as consumers Myfyrwyr fel partneriaid Myfyrwyr fel defnyddwyr
