Two award-winning first-language Welsh writers, Manon Steffan Ros and Melanie Owen, join Cath Barton, Chair of SoA Cymru Committee, to discuss their experiences of living in a bilingual country.
The shameful history of the Welsh Not, a token used by teachers at some schools in Wales, mainly in the 19th century, to discourage children from speaking Welsh, still casts a shadow over the country today, and arguably still causes divisions amongst us. The north-south divide in our country is real and a lot of that is about language.
Now, more than ever, we need to look for ways of overcoming such divisions and strengthening the writing communities in Wales.
This event was in conjunction with the Society of Authors Cymru
