Helo, Dwi dwi, Vice President Welsh language, Culture and Community, the first to hold this position at Cardiff Students' Union. This role was created after years of student-led campaigns and it's an honour to be the first 'VP Welsh'. The purpose of this position is to represent all who use the Welsh Language in academic and extra-curricular matters within the University, Union and beyond.

I'm originally from Pwllheli on the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales and grew up in a Welsh speaking community and have received my whole education through the medium of Welsh up until starting at the University. I went to Coleg Meirion Dwyfor to study my A-levels and during my time there was the Students' Union President representing thousands of students across North Wales. I have just completed my degree in Cymraeg & Politics and I'm very much looking forward to representing all students to make everyone's University experience the best it can be during you time here in the Capital of the best country in the world.

My main priorities for this year are:
  • Support and co-ordinate Welsh medium events and activities.
  • Map out where the university’s Welsh medium provisions are and look at where it can be improved.
  • Create a community of students that use Cymraeg from different courses to form a supportive network for students.
  • Ensure Cymraeg rights are respected.
  • Celebrate Cardiff Uni’s multilingualism.

What I'm Working On?
