The performing arts students had reduced face-to-face interaction with their peers and their lecturers.
Ahead of the Senedd elections, we asked people what the priorities should be, and they want a focus on re-creating a sense of normality for young people. So, in years to come, we can look back and say oh yeah, that Covid was ages ago, we re back to normal now , said Celyn, 21, from Llanddarog, Carmarthenshire.

An election battle is brewing in west Wales as the race to win Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire gathers momentum.
From the hills of Carmarthenshire to the beaches of Pembrokeshire, the scenery is picturesque.

There will be a new Senedd member for the area, and it will be a man - as there are seven men on the ballot paper.
