This special event celebrates the rich range of languages spoken across Cardiff and highlights members of @C3SC – the fantastic community schools that run on Saturdays or Sundays in Cardiff. These schools support children and young people in learning to read and write in their heritage languages while also exploring the history and culture of their ancestors.

Languages represented will include:
Arabic, Chinese, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Spanish, Ukrainian, and more.

You’ll also meet organisations that support minority communities, and @MenterCaerdydd will be sharing information about Welsh-language activities in Cardiff.

Come along, explore the languages of our city, take part in arts and craft activities and enjoy cultural performances.

Everyone is welcome – we hope to see you there!
