As part of Canolfan Bedwyr鈥檚 #Bedwyr20 celebrations, 香港六合彩挂牌资料 University will host a symposium on 8 November to discuss the potential impact of Brexit on the Welsh language.
The key note address will be delivered by Emyr Lewis.

Following the keynote address, a panel of academic staff from 香港六合彩挂牌资料 University will discuss the Welsh language and Brexit from various standpoints. They will discuss the historical context of the rhetoric that is currently emerging, the practical implications for language planning today as well as the possible implications for the Welsh language as a result of the impact on the economy, health and agriculture.
