Question
What assessment has the Minister made of the report from Cultural Freelancers Wales which has highlighted growing pressure to learn Welsh to work in Wales's cultural sector?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
We are aware of the report published by Cultural Freelancers Wales and have considered the content and its recommendations. I am delighted to see the sector’s willingness to learn Welsh and build upon existing Welsh language skills. This approach embraces Cymraeg 2050’s ethos and objectives.
I am also pleased with the work that our partners are undertaking to increase the workforce’s Welsh language capacity. Both the National Centre for Learning Welsh and the Arts Council of Wales have innovative projects underway which support the sector’s journey in delivering Cymraeg 2050.
