WAG: Do you want to play a part in shaping a new Welsh language strategy?  The Welsh Assembly Government is reviewing its existing strategy, 'Iaith Pawb',  which was published in 2003.  Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones will be visiting different parts of Wales during December & January to discuss what should be in the new strategy - and the future of the Welsh language.
 
The events will be held on:

This is an opportunity for everyone with an interest in the Welsh language to learn more about the strategy, share their views and provide suggestions on its development.  The events are open to all so it doesn’t matter if you are fluent, a learner or simply have an interest in the language.  Simultaneous translation will be provided.
