Question
What contribution has the Taith programme made to promoting Wales as a country of collaboration and innovation?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Further and Higher Education
Taith’s reciprocal nature is central to its collaborative ethos. Pathway 2 projects, in particular, are designed not just for outbound mobility but to foster strategic partnerships that deliver mutual benefit. These projects are required to produce tangible outputs that address sector priorities in Wales while also benefiting international partners. This two-way exchange reinforces Wales’s image as a country that not only learns from others but also shares its own innovations and values.
The recent extension of Taith until 2028 signals to international partners that Wales is committed to long-term, meaningful collaboration.
The programme’s impact extends beyond education. It supports Wales’s broader international strategy by positioning the nation as a forward-thinking, inclusive, and globally engaged partner.
