Media Projects
The ESRC Copper Project brought an opportunity for media students in Swansea University's Media and Communication department to be inspired by the heritage of Welsh copper. Over the course of the academic year 2010 to 2011 four students, Amy Evans, Gemma, Gethin Williams and Kristina Richter and their tutor Mr Peter Jones worked with Research Officer Tehmina Goskar to come up with ideas for short sketches that showcased elements of Swansea's copper heritage, and in return gave them material for their video production project. They also documented the Copper Day festival and this footage has rapidly become a new document of Swansea's history.
