Symud Gyda Tedi – Menter Iaith Fflint a Wrecsam’s New Exciting Project!
Why create the Symud gyda Tedi?
The aim of this project was to support the Welsh Government’s efforts to encourage more children to exercise and keep fit, and at the same time promote the use of the Welsh language and support the language strategy ‘Cymraeg 2050 – A Million Speakers’. We are very grateful to the Big Lottery Fund and the Welsh Government’s Rural Development Program 2014-2020 for their financial support in doing so. The CD ‘Symud gyda Tedi’ has also played an important part in the project, and the Menter is extremely grateful to Mudiad Meithrin for their support. We are also grateful to the pupils of Ysgol Glanrafon, Yr Wyddgrug, for contributing their voices to be used to build the soundtrack and jingles for the 16 videos. We received a warm welcome from them and everyone really enjoyed the experience!
