The Cultural Institute is a vibrant, welcoming and inclusive centre within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Swansea University.

Our mission is threefold: to champion arts and culture for all, from our staff, students and alumni to schools and communities across Wales and beyond; to nurture collaborations with cultural, literary and publishing partners locally, nationally and internationally; and to enhance the student experience through a wide range of internship opportunities for undergraduates and postgraduates.

From the Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize, to our literary salon series and special events, educational programmes including a human rights focused poetry project for key stage 3, cross art workshops for key stage 2, and a new, free to attend children's literature festival, we celebrate and promote creativity, imagination, discussion and debate as integral to our wellbeing and shaping us as citizens of the world.
