The Senedd, the Welsh Parliament building in Cardiff Bay, might conjure up images of debates and politicians. But beyond the world of policy, the Senedd boasts some seriously impressive sustainable features ➡️ https://thesprout.co.uk/blog/sustainable-senedd/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Efallai bod adeilad y Senedd ym Mae Caerdydd yn dod â dadleuon a gwleidyddion i’r meddwl, ond y tu hwnt i fyd polisi, mae nodweddion cynaliadwy’r Senedd yn sylweddol iawn ➡️ https://thesprout.co.uk/cy/cynaliadwyedd-yn-y-senedd/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nid yw bod yn ifanc yn golygu bod rhai i ti sefyll ar yr ochr yn gwylio gwleidyddiaeth yn digwydd. Mae mwy o ffyrdd i gymryd rhan yng Nghymru nag y byddet ti’n ei feddwl! O lunio polisi i leisio dy farn, dyma ganllaw i wneud gwahaniaeth go iawn. Dolen yn y bio!

Being young doesn’t mean you have to sit on the sidelines when it comes to politics. In Wales, there are more ways to get involved than you might think! From shaping policy to having your voice heard, here’s your guide to making a real difference. Link in bio!

The Senedd, Wales’ dynamic Parliament building, is more than just a place for politicians. It’s a hub for history, education, and engaging experiences open to all! Whether you’re passionate about politics or simply curious about Wales’ governance, the Senedd has something for everyone. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

----

Mae’r Senedd yn fwy nag adeilad deinamig i wleidyddion. Mae’n ganolbwynt hanes, addysg, a phrofiadau difyr sydd yn agored i bawb! Os wyt ti’n caru gwleidyddiaeth, neu â ychydig o ddiddordeb yn deall mwy am y ffordd mae Cymru yn cael ei lywodraethu, mae yna rywbeth at ddant pawb yn y Senedd. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
