The Welsh Diaspora refers to the communities of people of Welsh descent who have settled outside of Wales. This migration has occurred over centuries, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when many Welsh people moved to countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in search of better opportunities. These communities often maintain cultural ties to Wales, celebrating traditions, language, and festivals. Organizations such as the Urdd and the National Eisteddfod help preserve Welsh culture abroad, fostering connections among those with Welsh heritage and promoting the Welsh language, or Cymraeg.
