"diwylliant" in context

Mae wedi treulio'r degawd diwethaf, onid yw, yn hyrwyddo diwylliant o ddysgu sy'n cyrraedd pob cwr o'r gymuned.

It has spent the last decade, hasn’t it, promoting a culture of learning that really reaches every corner of the community.

C1

B2

B1

However, the purpose of funding preventative areas such as sport and culture is to reduce those pressures.
