Dragon Arts and Learning
Social Inclusion through Arts and
Learning
A brief History
The Dragon Arts Centre was set up in 1999 and soon found a home in Green Dragon Lane (hence the name) off Wind Street in Swansea.
The centre moved to 217, High Street in 2002 where it stayed whilst searching for a permanent home.
Then Dragon Arts Centre moved to its permanent home; 54 Morfa Road, The Hafod in 2005.
Under it's new name Dragon Arts and Learning Centre, it was officially opened by Andrew Davies AM, the Assembly's Minister for Economic Development and Transport on 27th May 2005.
The project has an excellent track record in re-engaging previously disaffected people in training and lifelong learning.
This was recognised when members of the Centre achieved both an individual and group award in the acclaimed National Adult Learner Awards for Wales 2005, awarded by NIACE and ELWA. In addition two of our tutors received "Outstanding Adult Tutor Awards". Also one of our learners was "highly commneded" by NIACE in their INSPIRE awards in 2009.

Where are we?
New Timetable
We are pleased to announce that Dragon Arts are expanding the services on offer with more workshops on each day for you to choose from.
The main changes we have made are:
- Extending the morning workshops to three hours.
- Holding more workshops on all days of the week.
- Offering more structured and focussed workshops in the afternoons for those members who wish to work towards specific qualifications.
In short, morning workshops will remain open access and flexible. You can attend as many of these as you like on a drop-in basis.
The afternoon sessions are all accredited and you will need to sign up with the tutor for the start of these classes which will begin on 1st February.
We hope you are as excited about these new changes and opportunities as we are but if you have any questions please feel free to ring the Centre or make an appointment to look around and find out what is on offer to suit your needs. Please note that from 1st February 2010 we will only be taking appointments to visit the Centre from 10am-1pm each day.
