With regret - the Penn-seythen has been cancelled for this year. We'll let you know what is happening as soon as the current situation with the virus resolves. ************************************************************** Kowethas an Yeth Kernewek is a registered charity which promotes the Cornish language through a wide range of publications, classes and events including the Penn-seythen Gernewek, the largest annual gathering of Cornish speakers. Cornwall and its language have been inextricably linked throughout history and its presence can still be seen all around in place names, family names and in dialect. Henry Jenner, pivotal Cornish revivalist, said, "Why should Cornishmen learn Cornish? ... Because they are Cornishmen." In 1967 the Gorsedh of Cornwall (Gorsedh Kernow) and the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies established Kesva an Taves Kernewek (The Cornish Language Board) whose aim was to promote the study and use of the Cornish language. In 1979 Kevsa an Taves Kernewek launched Kowethas an Yeth Kernewek (The Cornish Language Fellowship) to further the development of the language and to promote activities in Cornish for the benefit of the ever increasing number of people who wished to learn it and in particular who wished to use Cornish in everyday life. Following the successful growth of the Kowethas, in 1985 the two bodies formally separated but continue to work in the closest harmony for the benefit of the Cornish Language. In 2010 An Kylgh Kernewek came under the umbrella of the Kowethas. The objectives of Kowethas an Yeth Kernewek are to advance the education of the public in the Cornish language by promoting, encouraging and fostering its use. The Kowethas is non-party political.
There is also a leaflet in English - Klew! - which is sent four times a year to members. It's also available at Kowsva free of charge and on Kowethas an Yeth stalls. Aktivities for Children and their families are held approximately every two weeks at Kowsva, Heartlands (and sometimes other places). Please look at the Facebook page We Love Cornish for Kids and Families for details. For many people the highlight of the year is a fully residential weekend, the Penn-seythen Gernewek, held usually around Easter time. Cornish speakers of any ability, including complete beginners are very welcome. Other social activities include guided walks, Yeth an Werin (a chance for a chat in Kernewek, usually held in a local pub) and Dydhyow Lowender (fun days where all events are organised in We have a shop at Heartlands near Camborne. Come and visit. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays 10 - 1. We'll also be open - often - when there are special events at Heartlands.
You can buy books in the Cornish language and other items at Kowsva at Heartlands and also here. We need volunteers to help with the KaYK stalls at events across Cornwall and in Kowsva, our shop at Heartlands. Contact us please, if you can help.
