The partnership between the two youth organizations was launched in Dublin in March 2020. Members of the Urdd from Aelwyd yr Ynys, Anglesey, gave a musical performance in Welsh following the style of TG Lurgan productions, which take current songs and recreate them in Irish. A musical performance was also given by members of TG Lurgan.

The launch was part of Wales Week Dublin 2020, organized by the Welsh Government.
