The event is now live! Come explore below!

The Wales Cancer Research Centre has teamed up with Cardiff University to launch a new education resource to mark World Cancer Day. Developed by teachers, researchers and poets, this education pack aims to improve literacy, digital competency and inspire career pathways by bringing the arts and sciences together.

This free teaching resource is designed for use by English, Welsh, science and PSE teachers and is aimed at key stage three (age 11 - 14). The resource may also be of interest to homeschoolers and youth groups.

Schools competition

The final activity in this education pack was developed through collaboration with cancer researchers and poets. Acclaimed writers Owen Sheers and Ifor ap Glyn have devised film-poems about cancer research to inspire children to come up with works of their own for a competition. The deadline for entries is 30 April. The poets will pick one winner in Welsh and one winner in English who will receive £150 each in book tokens for their school and have their poem displayed publicly at a cancer research facility.
