A new podcast series has been launched for education staff.

Ceredigion County Council education department's Welsh language support team has created "Pod Yr Ysgol" for the education workforce.

The initiative is in response to feedback from secondary education sector staff who found it hard to attend formal Welsh learning lessons while working.

The podcast offers a flexible learning tool, allowing staff to learn Welsh vocabulary and phrases related to school life during their commute.

"Pod Yr Ysgol" currently has six episodes, each focusing on different aspects of a school day and timetable, such as arriving and leaving school and lunchtime.

The podcasts are available on all major digital platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Councillor Wyn Thomas, Ceredigion's cabinet member for schools, lifelong learning, and skills, said: "I am thrilled at the launch of Pod Yr Ysgol.

"Recognising the challenges faced by staff in attending formal Welsh lessons, we wanted to provide a flexible and accessible learning tool.

"These podcasts offer a convenient way to learn Welsh vocabulary and phrases related to school life, making it easier for our staff to integrate the language into their daily routines.

"We are grateful for the support from Arfor and Llwyddo’n Lleol in bringing this project to life, as well as the initiative and hard work of the Welsh language support team."

The project was made possible with the support of Arfor and Llwyddo’n Lleol.
