Are you considering learning Welsh? Join Helen Prosser from the National Centre for Learning Welsh to hear more about the courses the centre has to offer, for you personally and for your organisation.

This session will look at how you can develop a positive culture of Cymraeg- English bilingualism in your organisation. You’ll hear from leaders within WCVA and their experience of Welsh Government’s Leading in a Bilingual Country course and how it has helped to transform the way in which Cymraeg is used and viewed within the organisation. This session will be run bilingually and you do not need to be able to speak Cymraeg to join.

Over the past year, Wales Air Ambulance have taken significant steps to strengthen their Welsh language provision, guided by their five-year strategy. In this session, they will share their journey, from launching a new Welsh Language Policy and Scheme to engaging with their staff to build support for the language. The session will explore how they embraced Welsh identity in an inclusive, meaningful way, the challenges they faced, and how they overcame them. This is a story about rooting the Welsh language at the heart of their organisation, with a clear path ahead of them.
