🎉 Exciting News from Wales! 🎉
Meet Megan Elias and Angharad Davies, two passionate teachers from Wales embarking on a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime journey! 🌍✈️ They’re heading to Patagonia for 10 months as part of an inspiring project to teach and promote the Welsh language.
This adventure is part of a unique initiative by the British Council, aimed at preserving and promoting Welsh culture more than 150 years after Welsh settlers first planted roots in Argentina’s Chubut province. Both educators discovered their love for the Welsh language while studying at Bangor University and are now eager to share their passion across the globe.
Angharad, who hails from Pontyclun, was inspired by her bilingual upbringing and the vibrant Welsh community at university. Meanwhile, Megan from Old Colwyn, found her calling for Welsh studies after attending Eisteddfod, Wales’ iconic cultural festival.
They’ll teach in schools and engage with adults, blending lessons with cultural activities, music, and community engagement. For Angharad, it’s not just about teaching—it’s about inspiring others to embrace Welsh in their daily lives and connect with their heritage.
Megan and Angharad’s journey is a testament to the deep bonds between Wales and Patagonia, as they continue a proud tradition of cultural exchange and friendship.
We wish them all the success on this incredible adventure, spreading the beauty of the Welsh language and strengthening international ties! Good luck, Megan and Angharad! 🍀🏆
