Croeso (welcome) pawb (everyone) to Ein Llais Cymraeg (Our Welsh Voice) our Welsh Language Promotion Strategy for 2024-2029. It’s a statutory document, required by law, but that’s not why we’re doing this. We’re doing this because we are proud of our Welsh culture and proud of Conwy being a bilingual Council and we’re passionate about supporting people.
Cymraeg is part of who we are. It’s our language and belongs to us all. It is part of our history, our heritage and our culture. In a time where we all face many challenges, celebrating and encouraging ein Llais Cymraeg (our Welsh language voice) can bring us together. We want everyone to join us, no matter how much Cymraeg you know, wherever you come from and wherever you live now in the county of Conwy.
Promoting Cymraeg is also about family, about community, schools, businesses, tourism and most of all about people. Language is a people thing and this plan aims to support people to grow understanding, goodwill and hopefully a love of Cymraeg and its contribution to the culture, society and economy of Conwy.
We hope you will join us on the journey to a million speakers of Cymraeg by 2050. Are you one in a million? If you’re a fully conversant Cymraeg speaker we need you too, to support others and help create the opportunities where Cymraeg can grow. As well as increasing the number of people able to speak some Cymraeg, we want more people to speak Cymraeg every day.
The challenge ahead is an exciting one, and through setting a strong vision, we are confident that we will be able to work together to successfully promote Cymraeg here in Conwy. Amdani! (Forward!)
