Enjoy using your Welsh at the Learn Welsh Events
The National Centre for Learning Welsh holds several national events each year. In 2021, we held the following virtual events.
Business Forum
We held a Business Forum for Welsh with David Thomas, Jin Talog and Daniela Schlick, Helo Blod. It was interesting to hear about the businesses, their background and how they use the Welsh language in the delivery of their services.
A big ‘diolch’ to the speakers and to everyone who attended the event.
Virtual Christmas Fair
We had the opportunity to hear about produce and goods from all over Wales, including gin, cheese, pottery and jewellery, at this virtual fair.
A big ‘diolch yn fawr’ to the speakers and to everyone who came along to the evening.
Welsh Language Rights Day
Welsh Language Rights Day aims to raise awareness of the opportunities available to use the Welsh language when dealing with public services. You can read more information here.
We had an informative and interesting session with the late Aled Roberts, Welsh Language Commissioner on Welsh Language Rights Day, 7 December 2021. Diolch yn fawr to everyone who took part and for all the questions on the night.
Cooking session with Rhys ap Trefor
