In-migration is a challenge for the Welsh language, but can also be an opportunity to demonstrate
how the language can be used to embrace multiculturalism and diversity. This could be through
programmes to learn Welsh or programmes to assist children and families to support learning
and guide them in their new communities.

Using the workplace to introduce the Welsh language to in-migrants and ensuring that they are
aware of the Welsh language and culture, as well as giving them opportunities to learn and use the
Welsh language, is another important approach.

The attitude and contribution of fluent Welsh speakers will also be important. As is the case with
any new speaker, a programme will need to be developed for Welsh speakers to participate in
informal learning and to contribute to the efforts of in-migrants to learn Welsh such as the
Voluntariat per la Llengua Programme in Catalunya.

Our aim: ensure that the Welsh language is an integral

part of our efforts to enhance Wales’ relationship with
the wider world, and used to welcome and integrate
people who move to Wales.
