Urdd Gobaith Cymru, literally, the Welsh League of Hope, but normally translated as the Welsh League of Youth, is a Welsh-medium youth movement. The Urdd is Wales's largest youth organisation and it was founded in 1922 by Sir Ifan ab Owen Edwards. The first Urdd local branch was established in Treuddyn in 1922. The logo of the Urdd is a triangle of green (symbolising Wales), red (symbolising fellow-man), and white (symbolising Christ). In 1925 the first "Peace and Goodwill Message" from the youth of Wales to the youth of the world was issued by the Urdd, a custom that continues every year on 18 May.
