A scheme to promote the use of the Welsh language in Cardigan town centre is being relaunched.

Have you seen ‘Hapus i Siarad’ stickers around Cardigan? Perhaps you will see more of them in the near future as Cered: Menter Iaith Ceredigion announce that they will relaunch the popular scheme in order to promote the use of the Welsh Language at town centre businesses.

‘Hapus i Siarad’ (Welsh for ‘happy to talk’) was initially launched in 2013 and its aim was to normalise the use of spoken Welsh at shops, cafes and pubs and a sticker was provided to participating businesses.

Whilst Cardigan has changed greatly over the decade since launching the scheme, the Hapus i Siarad stickers are still seen across the town and there has been demand to re-launch the scheme in order to make it easier for Welsh speakers of all kinds including learners to know where they can start a conversation in Welsh with confidence.

Over the next few months, Cered would like to hear from residents and businesses in the area to learn what kind of resources would be of interest to promote this scheme e.g. window stickers, badges, leaflets, posters etc. What would be of interest to you?
