Shared Learning Seminar
A Wales of Vibrant Culture and Thriving Welsh Language - The North

A celebration of modern Wales through our shared identities, language and experiences as one nation with many faces of Welshness.

About this event

A Wales of Vibrant Culture and Thriving Welsh Language:

A society that promotes and protects the vibrant cultures, heritage, and Welsh language encouraging people to become a part of their local communities.

Modern Wales is a country rich with diverse multicultural, multilingual communities with societies that promote and protect the cultures of Wales, including the Welsh language. A society that encourages people to participate in their communities through opportunities in the arts, sport, recreation, and education.

Join us for a celebration of the many faces of Welshness in modern Wales, exploring how communities are contributing, 'to a Wales of vibrant cultures and thriving Welsh language'.

Inspired by the Football Association of Wales journey over the past decade, this event will examine and discuss how going beyond expectations, creates an inclusive and positive attitude that becomes self-fulfilling.

Working in partnership with the Future Generations Commissioner and the Welsh Language Commissioner, this event will assist and inspire public bodies, and the third sector to embrace the cultural diversity of modern Wales and work beyond compliance and into excellence.
