Thanks to the feedback and enthusiasm you gave through our recent survey, we’re moving ahead with the DofE Wales Conference 2026 – a dedicated opportunity to bring DofE Managers and Co-ordinators from across Wales together for connection, learning and inspiration.
This will be our first conference in Wales in several years, and we’re excited to create a space shaped by your priorities, celebrating your work and supporting you to deliver life‑changing opportunities for young people.
What to expect
The day will bring together colleagues from schools, colleges, youth services and community groups, and ALN settings across Wales. You can expect:
- Opportunities to connect, share ideas and collaborate with other DofE Managers and Co-ordinators.
- Inspiring speakers and youth voices.
- Practical workshops focused on delivery and inclusion.
- Updates on the DofE’s direction in Wales.
We’ll be hosting two events – one in South Wales, and one in North Wales – to ensure travel is kept to a minimum. You can attend either of these events as the content will be the same.

Ymunwch â ni ar gyfer Cynhadledd DofE Cymru 2026
O ganlyniad i’ch adborth a’ch brwdfrydedd yn ein harolwg diweddar, rydym yn symud ymlaen â Chynhadledd DofE Cymru 2026 – cyfle pwrpasol i ddod â Rheolwyr a Chydlynwyr DofE o bob cwr o Gymru ynghyd ar gyfer cysylltu, dysgu ac ysbrydoliaeth.
Dyma fydd ein cynhadledd gyntaf yng Nghymru ers sawl blwyddyn, ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen at greu gofod sydd wedi’i lywio gan eich blaenoriaethau, gan ddathlu eich gwaith a’ch cefnogi i ddarparu cyfleoedd sy’n trawsnewid bywydau i bobl ifanc.
Beth i’w ddisgwyl
Bydd y diwrnod yn dod â chydweithwyr o ysgolion, colegau, gwasanaethau ieuenctid a grwpiau cymunedol, a lleoliadau ADY ledled Cymru ynghyd. Gallwch ddisgwyl:
- Cyfleoedd i gysylltu, rhannu syniadau a chydweithio â Rheolwyr a Chydlynwyr DofE eraill.
- Siaradwyr ysbrydoledig a lleisiau ieuenctid
- Gweithdai ymarferol yn canolbwyntio ar gyflawni a chynhwysiant
- Diweddariadau ar gyfeiriad y DofE yng Nghymru
Byddwn yn cynnal dau ddigwyddiad – un yn Ne Cymru ac un yng Ngogledd Cymru – er mwyn sicrhau bod cyn lleied â phosibl o deithio. Gallwch fynychu’r naill ddigwyddiad neu’r llall gan y bydd y cynnwys yr un peth.
