Cerdd Iaith supports the Languages, Literacy and Communication Area of Learning and Experience within Curriculum for Wales, helping learners make connections between Welsh, English and international languages.

Its multilingual, arts-based approach uses music, drama and creativity to develop communication skills, curiosity and confidence. It also provides opportunities for learning across other Areas of Learning and Experience.

Cerdd Iaith supports learners to progress towards the four purposes of Curriculum for Wales, becoming:

• ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives
• enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work
• ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world
• healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society

The multilingual approach reflects the aims of Curriculum for Wales by encouraging learners to use what they know about one language to support the learning of others, while developing an understanding of their own and other cultures and communities.
