The Urdd beyond Wales 

Our ambition is to take Wales, the Welsh language and the Urdd worldwide.

The Urdd has nurtured 4 million young men and women to be proud of their country, open to the world and living embodiments of our language and culture, along with the universal values which we cherish in Wales.

The Urdd stands as a key organisation in Wales working with partners such as Welsh Government, British Council, BBC, WRU, Commonwealth Games, S4C, Wales Arts International to name a few. Our partnership collaborations with these organisations has ensured successful initiatives for Young people and we have in the last few years expanded our work internationally through projects in the USA, Kenya, New Zealand, Ireland, Patagonia, Hungary, Brussels, Cameroon, Australia, Japan and more. We want to continue to work alongside our partners to amplify the story of Wales as a successful, confident, vibrant and open nation.

The Urdd has ambitious plans to ensure Wales makes a positive impact, to ensure that more people know about Wales, offer international experiences for young people and celebrate the cultural richness of Wales.

The Urdd is a unique organisation in the world, and we wish to create globally aware young people we believe that by recognising our strengths in Wales together we as an organisation can prioritise:

• what is unique to Wales

• a way of working that is at the heart of the Future Generations Act

• be responsible at a global level

We are every proud of what we have achieved to date, and our vision for the future remains.
