Siop Siarad Discuss the #joia Campaign
We had a lot of fun discussing Mentrau Iaith Cymru’s latest campaign in the Siop Siarad on the 10th of July. In a nutshell, #joia is campaign to get more people, old and young to use more Welsh as part of their daily lives.
The group discussed what they enjoyed doing through the medium of Welsh. We also asked them to describe the Siop Siarad in one Welsh word. So, here are the pictures from the session and our contribution towards the campaign!
The Siop Siarad is held at Siop yr Hen Bont, Bridgend every Thursday. It offers learners the opportunity to ask questions and practice talking Welsh outside of the class.
Group 1: 12:45pm – 1:30pm. Practicing Mynediad and Sylfaen language patterns
Group 2: 1:30pm – 2:15pm. Starting to hold Welsh conversations
Group 3: 2:15pm – 3:00pm. For those who can hold a Welsh conversation

Menter Bro Ogwr’s Welsh Festival ends with good-bye to our Youth Officer – Yasmin Morris
Menter Bro Ogwr’s Welsh Festival Week has come to an end with everyone enjoying the many events that took place. Thank you very much to everyone who has supported us; children, young people and adults.
These events would not be possible without the preperation, organization and dedication of the whole team of Menter Bro Ogwr and the support of volunteers who gave their time to ensure the events went off with a bang!
We also finish our week saying goodbye to our Youth Officer Yasmin Morris. Yasmin will start in her new position with Menter Abertawe next week. In the short time that Yasmin has been with Menter Bro Ogwr she has left her mark on the organisation and will be sadly missed. We wish her the best of luck in her new position. Good luck and thank you very much.
