Carmarthenshire Welsh policy statement launched
The ‘Policy Statement regarding the Welsh language’ has been launched in Carmarthenshire.
The launch was part of Gŵyl Hwyl Llandybie Fun Festival, Gŵyl Fwyd Castell Newydd Emlyn Food Festival and Cwm Gwendraeth’s Mabolgampau Meithrin Sports held in Pontyberem Park.
The document was prepared by Mentrau Sir Gâr Partnership Group, which includes the Welsh Language Board, Carmarthenshire County Council, Menter Bro Dinefwr, Menter Cwm Gwendraeth and Menter Gorllewin Sir Gâr. The group promotes, supports and ensures the use of the Welsh language in every aspect of life in Carmarthenshire.
The vision is to see establishments and organisations working together and with people across the county, from all backgrounds, to promote the Welsh language.
The Carmarthenshire Integrated Community Strategy Partnerships have committed to five aims of the document which are:
• To increase the numbers and percentages who speak, understand, read and write Welsh
• To increase the use of the Welsh language and to raise the confidence of Welsh speakers
• To increase the opportunities to learn and receive training through the medium of Welsh
• Maintain and develop viable communities and networks of Welsh speakers
• Develop and promote Welsh Services and bilingual workplaces.
