The Urdd is one of the largest youth organisations in Europe, with tens of thousands of young people taking part in Welsh-language activities including its annual Eisteddfod, which will be held this year on Anglesey from 23 to 29 May.
The organisation’s peace message – an annual tradition dating back to its founding in 1922 – often includes a focus on important global issues.
Among the themes in recent years were child poverty, anti-racism, the climate emergency, and gender equality.
The message for 2026 comes under the slogan “peace speaks every language”, with particular focus on the preservation of minority, regional, and indigenous languages.
