As part of the Urdd's international projects that share the Welsh language, culture and values with the world, three of the Urdd's projects travelled to the Lorient Interceltique Festival which took place 12-18 August 2024. The festival attracts over 700,000 visitors annually to enjoy Celtic music and culture. The theme of this year's festival was 'Youth', and thus the Urdd was invited for the first time to be a part of the celebration.

Following an open application process, Aelwyd yr Ynys was selected to represent the Urdd and Wales at the 'Celtic Horizons' concert at the festival. And thanks to the financial support of the Taith scheme, two other Urdd projects had the opportunity to travel: TwmpDaith and the Prosiect Plethu.  

TwmpDaith is a group of 9 young musicians and dancers showcasing Welsh traditional folk dance and music. Prosiect Plethu brings together groups of young people across Wales to collaborate and experiment with the arts to create performances and art. These two projects are Fitzalan High School and Clocsiwyr Conwy, interweaving project which weaves traditional Welsh stripping with Bollywood and Roma dancing. The rhythms, and various patterns create a feast for the eyes and ears. The group of young people have shared their own traditions to create a contemporary assortment that showcases identity.
