It’s been a busy few days for the British Council Wales team!

We’ve been in Anglesey, North Wales for the Urdd Gobaith Cymru sharing upcoming opportunities for Erasmus+ UK. 🌎

The Urdd is the largest Welsh language youth organisation and their annual festival attracts young people from across Wales and beyond - both Welsh and non-Welsh speakers!

Our team had wonderful feedback from those who have experienced the Erasmus+ programme first-hand and benefited from its life-changing opportunities, including Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Wales and MP, Anna McMorrin.

The team also met the new Deputy Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education, Cefin Campbell - a long-time champion of Erasmus +.

Despite the soaring temperatures and hot tents, a great time was had by all! 😎

Mae’r dyddiau diwethaf wedi bod yn rhai prysur i dîm British Council Cymru!

Rydyn ni wedi bod yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd yn Ynys Môn yn rhannu gwybodaeth am gyfleoedd rhaglen Erasmus+ yn y DU. 🌎

Yr Urdd yw mudiad ieuenctid mwyaf Cymru ac mae’r eisteddfod flynyddol hon yn denu pobl ifanc o bob cwr o Gymru, a thu hwnt – yn siaradwyr Cymraeg a rhai sydd ddim yn siarad Cymraeg hefyd!

Cafodd ein tîm glywed straeon gwych gan bobl sydd wedi cael profiad uniongyrchol o raglen Erasmus+ yn y gorffennol ac wedi elwa ar gyfleoedd a newidiodd eu bywydau, gan gynnwys yr aelod seneddol ac Is-ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru, Anna McMorrin.

Hefyd, cawsom gyfle i gwrdd â’r Dirprwy Weinidog dros Sgiliau ac Addysg Drydyddol yn y Senedd, Cefin Campbell – sydd wedi bod yn chwifio’r faner dros Erasmus+ ers amser maith.

Er gwaethaf yr haul crasboeth a’r pabelli poeth, cafodd pawb amser bendigedig! 😎

The British Council Wales team headed to Wrexham recently for FOCUS Wales – the brilliant festival for music industry professionals showcasing the very best of Wales’s music scene. 🎶

Artists, podcasters, venue hosts and music agents mingled with delegates from as far afield as Mexico, Thailand, Venezuela, Macedonia and the Netherlands, discussing topics ranging from connections through indigenous languages, to the role music can play in international relations and peace building. 🕊️

With more than 250 artists, across 20 venues, over 3 nights, we’re so proud to support this amazing event featuring all the incredible talent that Wales has to offer, alongside some of the best new acts from across the globe. ❤️

Aeth tîm British Council Cymru i Wrecsam yn ddiweddar ar gyfer FOCUS Wales - gŵyl wych ar gyfer gweithwyr proffesiynol yn y diwydiant cerddoriaeth sy'n arddangos y gorau o sîn gerddoriaeth Cymru. 🎶

Bu artistiaid, podledwyr, cynrychiolwyr canolfannau ac asiantau cerddoriaeth yn cymysgu â chynrychiolwyr o wledydd fel Mecsico, Gwlad Thai, Venezuela, Macedonia a'r Iseldiroedd gan drafod amrywiaeth eang o bynciau – o greu cysylltiadau rhwng ieithoedd brodorol i’r rhan y gall cerddoriaeth ei chwarae mewn cysylltiadau rhyngwladol a hybu heddwch. 🕊️

Gyda dros 250 o artistiaid yn perfformio mewn dros 20 o ganolfannau dros 3 noson, rydyn ni'n falch iawn o gefnogi'r ŵyl anhygoel yma sy'n rhoi llwyfan i dalent arbennig o Gymru, ochr yn ochr ag artistiaid newydd o ledled y byd. ❤️
