As part of the St David's Day celebration, the National Library Wales' Education Service and the musician and poet Casi Wyn followed a historic pilgrimage route, starting in Holywell, travelling through mid-Wales and finishing in St Davids.
Six workshops were delivered over a period of three days – two each day – in different primary schools, engaging with over 200 pupils.
There was also a opportunity for the pupils to see some of the Library's treasures, including the Book of Taliesin, which contains one of the earliest references to Saint David and some of the oldest Welsh poems, and John Ogilby's unique maps, which mark the pilgrimage route.
The six school visited were:
Ysgol Gymraeg Gwenffrwd, Holywell
Ysgol Bryn Clwyd County Primary School, Llandyrnog
Ysgol Glantwymyn, Glantwymyn
Ysgol Gymunedol Tal-y-bont, Tal-y-bont, Ceredigion
Ysgol Glannau Gwaun, Fishguard
Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi Church in Wales VA School, St Davids
