I’ve been much looking forward to visiting the National Eisteddfod of Wales 2024 at Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf this year between August 3 and 10. This annual event to celebrate the culture and language of Wales is the biggest of its kind in Europe.
Despite the celebrations, the creative unions in Wales are very concerned about the future of the creative industries in terms of work opportunities, training and education for the future workforce, as well as for those already working within the sector. Look out for a statement later this week!
As the Wales TUC celebrates its fiftieth birthday, I’m really looking forward to the many panel sessions that we’ll be holding over the week to openly discuss the issues that are important to us as unions and to our communities across the nation. Translation equipment will be available for non-Welsh speakers.
