Today, Urdd Gobaith Cymru, Wales’ largest youth organisation, shares its annual Peace and Goodwill message by the young people of Wales with the world. The title is ‘Gweithred yw Gobaith’ – ‘Hope is an Action’.

Since 1922 the young people of Wales have shared a Message of Peace and Goodwill with the world, each year focusing on a different theme. This year’s Peace and Goodwill Message celebrates the centenary of the remarkable 1923-24 Welsh Women Peace Petition, and highlights the need to advocate for peace a hundred years on.

To prepare for this year's message, the Urdd held a workshop in the Cardiff Urdd Center on 25-26 of January. Staff members, apprentices and volunteers of the Urdd, and students of the ESOL course (learning English as a second language) of Cardiff and the Vale Collage all came together for the workshop. Following the workshop, Casi Wyn transformed transformed the powerful words and ideas from the young women into a written message (available to read in over 60 languages) and then Efa Blosse-Mason turned them into a short film. 

Support this important campaign by sharing the video message on social media (see below).
