Ceredigion County Council website

Welcome to the ‘Gwefan y Gymraeg’ - Welsh Language in Ceredigion webpage

“We want to see the Welsh language and Welshness belong to everybody in Ceredigion and feel a sense of pride amongst all the counties’ residents.”

Ceredigion is one of the most important strongholds of the Welsh language and bilingual communities. Individuals and organisations from all sectors play a key role in promoting the status of the Welsh language and in trying to maintain the use of the language in all aspects of life.

'Gwefan y Gymraeg' (The Welsh Language in Ceredigion Webpage) wants to ensure that all residents of Ceredigion are aware of the culture and the opportunities available to them to use Welsh.

By browsing through the website you can learn about the opportunities available to children, young people, adults and families to learn and use Welsh at school, at work, in businesses and in leisure activities.

We have set up a significant number of associated areas of work, where the Council and its partners have the opportunity to take action to sustain the use of the Welsh language;

• We wish to see everyone in the county giving the Welsh language status, promoting its value and use as a living community language
• We want to see increased use of the language in all aspects of public life in the county; where residents can live, learn, belong and succeed through the medium of Welsh
• We want to ensure that the use of Welsh is promoted naturally, and that the Welsh language is protected to allow future generations to use and enjoy it.
