Apologies were noted as recorded above. 2. Minutes of previous meeting and matters arising 2.1 The minutes of the meeting of the Working Group held on 21 October 2020 were agreed as a true and accurate record. Matters arising and actions carried forward: 2.1.1 Public Service Broadcaster AGREED that the Cornish National Minority Working Group: (i) send a letter of support for the Cornish public service media concept to all Mark Trevethan key partners; (ii) endorse the next steps for progressing the concept (as set out in appendix A of the previously circulated report), and that Mark Trevethan develop this Mark Trevethan into a report to Economic Growth SLT; (iii) in collaboration with Mark Trevethan, develop a ‘project principles’ briefing paper to be sent to the new Director General of the BBC, copied to June Sarpong (Diversity Champion) and Helen Thomas, to include a covering letter Mark Trevethan from the Leader of the Council, endorsed by cross-party support. 2.1.2 Street Signage AGREED that Mark Trevethan liaise with Planning/Street Management/Signage Panel to refresh the ‘Developers Guide’ on street naming. Mark confirmed that this Mark Trevethan was in progress and would be available January 2021. 2.1.3 Devolution Members were thanked for their contributions to the Heritage Chapter of the Devolution Prospectus and it was NOTED that the draft document would be Matt Barton circulated to the Working Group by 11 December 2020 for comment before Christmas. 2.1.4 Fifth Cycle Report to the Council of Europe NOTED that a meeting had been convened to take place on 11 January 2021 with MHCLG officials to discuss reporting timeframes on the fifth cycle report and additional issues relating to funding and future support. Page 2 3. Census 2021 Engagement Rebecca Cohen provided a detailed update on the position in relation to the Census 2021. Census Engagement Managers John Floyd (Cornwall West and Isles of Scilly) and Heidi Clemo (Cornwall North and Cornwall East) were welcomed to the meeting. It was noted that the CEMs had been contracted until May 2021 and a key aspect of their role was to support the delivery of the Census 2021 engagement campaign to ensure that the population were made aware of their right to self- identify as Cornish – both written and online It was reported that a meeting had taken place on 27 November 2020 in respect of the development of the Cornish campaign to run alongside the ONS campaign. It was noted that the Cornish campaign would be based on key objectives including increasing resident completions from people who identify as Cornish and building upon the pride of people who identify as Cornish. The Cornish campaign would broadly follow the format of the campaign carried out in 2011, but would be refreshed to include newer media, for example, videos with key influencers in Cornwall/Cornish communities. It was noted that portrait photography would be used to bring stories to life, and would be used alongside bus shelter advertising, social media posts and newsletters. Radio advertising was also being considered. The campaign would focus on key population groups who had been identified as potentially facing barriers to completion, these were – Eastern European, older people, those without online access, those on low income, homeless/rough sleepers, Cornish National Minority. Consideration was also being given to extending the reach beyond Cornwall, to encourage people living outside Cornwall to type in Cornish. It was noted that a follow up meeting was to take place with ONS representatives before Christmas, and a more detailed preview of the engagement campaign would be available in January 2021. Discussion took place in respect of funding and it was noted that the Cornish campaign had been costed at £17K (£10K from the Cornish Cultural Fund) with a request that the ONS make up the £7K shortfall. A request was made that, in addition to engagement on the Cornish identity question, the Cornish engagement campaign also take account of the Language question, due to data on the number of Cornish speakers being the figure used to determine future language funding, and our future use of Census data as a baseline for identifying the impact in growth of the language work. It was AGREED that: (i) a preliminary list of key influencers/organisations to engage with going forwards be circulated to the Working Group, and that members send Rebecca Cohen/ ideas for any additional key contacts to Rebecca Cohen. Working Group (ii) a detailed communications plan be reported to the next meeting of the Rebecca Cohen Working Group. Rebecca, Heidi and John were thanked for their informative update. 4. Education Project Update Page 3 Kate Evan-Hughes invited members to note the contents of the previously circulated report and draft position statement, providing a detailed update on progress in relation to the development of a Cornish curriculum for schools. It was noted that the position statement had been developed to help schools plan and implement a school curriculum in Cornwall that recognises the unique elements of Cornish culture and language, and would be further developed through good practice in the form of case studies. Discussion ensued in respect of links between the school curriculum and the Council’s Creative Manifesto in respect of creating opportunities for local people to deliver content. It was reported that a planning tool was also in development for people who wanted to provide resources to schools in order to support the curriculum. Concern was raised in respect of quality assurance of learning materials, and whether Ofsted would be supportive of the proposal. It was reported that robust quality assurance would be carried out by the Education Reference Group, and peer group appraisal. It was noted, however, that the Education Department would welcome peer reviewers from the Cornish National Minority Working Group membership if anyone with an interest would wish to become involved. It was also reported that an expectation of Ofsted was that the national curriculum should be localised to take into account the specific requirements and cultural heritage of the region in which it is being presented. It was noted that the Education Department would be working closely with Wales to understand how the Welsh curriculum had been developed in collaboration with Ofsted. It was noted that the conversation around the framework for the Cornish curriculum would be launched in schools during March 2021, giving teachers an insight into how they might develop their curriculum, with the expectation that it would evolve and grow over time. Future school monitoring assessments would be looking for evidence of Cornish curriculum development during subsequent monitoring visits, and schools would be supported It was AGREED that: (i) Working Group members be invited to provide additional feedback on the previously circulated Position Statement to Kate Evan-Hughes by email; Working Group (ii) Kate Evan-Hughes be invited to the meeting of the Working Group on the 8th February 2021 to provide a further update. Paula Ruskin Kate was thanked for her informative update. 5. Draft Cornish National Minority Working Group Action Plan Paula Ruskin invited members to comment on the contents of the previously circulated draft Action Plan. Initial comments were as follows: • the plan was easier to read than the previous action plan, but needs to communicate more clearly what the FCPNM can do for the Cornish in engaging, Plain English terms; • a specific comment was made in relation to Outcome 3 – 3.1 should refer to a ‘Cornish Curriculum framework’; • need to include timescales etc (what, why, how, when); Page 4 • it is our work plan – do we need to develop something to sit alongside it that is front facing? Officers emphasised that the Action Plan had been developed to provide a focus to the work of the Group drawing together all the different strands of work and taking into account the recommendations of the Fourth Cycle Opinion of the Council of Europe.

In the run- up we have developed ‘cultural offerings’ with local community groups and co-curate a daytime festival programme. The big night arrives and, as in a medieval Cornish ‘plen-an-gwari’, we are ready to share an extraordinary, immersive, participative experience. We surround and involve the audience with epic theatrical storytelling of the highest quality. Our contemporary reworking of the ancient ‘Gogmagog’ legend reveals a timeless story of conflict, survivors and asylum- seeking. Notions about identity and belonging are challenged; distinctiveness and diversity are celebrated; community is reinforced. ! ! ! DID'WE'DO'THIS?' ! Yes! We designed and built a ‘wagon-train’ of set and scenery that encircled our audiences. We toured this ‘mobile plen-an-gwari’ to iconic locations from cliff-tops to castles across Cornwall. We hosted afternoon programmes of Cornish ‘cultural offerings’ with local community groups. We re-interpreted our ancient Cornish myth to create an epic piece of immersive theatre. We devised an audience experience that allowed each person to find their own level of involvement and participation.

  • A New Geography of Local Government in Cornwall
    Centre for Geography and Environmental Science A new geography of local government: The changing role of Town and Parish Councils in Cornwall, UK JUNE 2019 Jane Wills June 2 Localism and the role of Town and Parish Councils in Cornwall INTRODUCTION This report summarises research that has been undertaken as part of a larger project led by Locality, the national network of community organisations. It comprises material that forms part of phase two of the work undertaken for Locality’s Commission on the Future of Localism. The Commission has gathered evidence and ideas about efforts to engage local people in decision making and to strengthen community, and the challenges faced in realising these ambitions. Locality published the first round of findings in a report entitled People Power in early 2018 (Locality, 2018a). This report highlighted the need for greater thought and more focused action in relation to developing and supporting local institutions, fostering better relationships and building local capacity, in order to unlock the ‘power of community’. Building on the ideas developed in that report, phase two of the Commission’s work has involved action research with four local authorities (Cornwall, Southwark, Stevenage and Wigan) to explore the importance of geo-institutional inheritance and culture, local experiences, and the outcomes of efforts to foster localism. A report that draws on the learning from all four cases will be published late in 2019. This report focuses solely on the findings from the research undertaken with Town and Parish Councils (TPCs) in Cornwall. Conducted in late 2018 and early 2019, the author interviewed 27 individuals in 18 separate interviews, including representatives from 11 TPCs as well as the County Officer of Cornwall’s Association of Local Councils (CALC).

  • Britishness, What It Is and What It Could Be, Is
    COUNTY, NATION, ETHNIC GROUP? THE SHAPING OF THE CORNISH IDENTITY Bernard Deacon If English regionalism is the dog that never barked then English regional history has in recent years been barely able to raise much more than a whimper.1 Regional history in Britain enjoyed its heyday between the late 1970s and late1990s but now looks increasingly threadbare when contrasted with the work of regional geographers. Like geographers, in earlier times regional historians busied themselves with two activities. First, they set out to describe social processes and structures at a regional level. The region, it was claimed, was the most convenient container for studying ‘patterns of historical development across large tracts of the English countryside’ and understanding the interconnections between social, economic, political, demographic and administrative history, enabling the researcher to transcend both the hyper-specialization of ‘national’ historical studies and the parochial and inward-looking gaze of English local history.2 Second, and occurring in parallel, was a search for the best boundaries within which to pursue this multi-disciplinary quest. Although he explicitly rejected the concept of region on the grounds that it was impossible comprehensively to define the term, in many ways the work of Charles Phythian-Adams was the culmination of this process of categorization. Phythian-Adams proposed a series of cultural provinces, supra-county entities based on watersheds and river basins, as broad containers for human activity in the early modern period. Within these, ‘local societies’ linked together communities or localities via networks of kinship and lineage. 3 But regions are not just convenient containers for academic analysis.

The research combines book-based strategies and performative encounters with people and places, to build a rich, chorographic survey described in images, sound files, objects and texts. A key research problem – how to express the forensic fingerprint of that which is invisible in the historic record – is described as a poetics of uncertainty, a speculative response to information that teeters on the brink of what can be reliably known. This poetics combines multi-modal writing to communicate events in the life of the research, auto-ethnographically, from the point of view of an artist working in the academy.

  • General Election 2015 Candidate Views on Shooting Sports & Firearms Ownership
    General Election 2015 Candidate Views on Shooting Sports & Firearms Ownership Firearms UK is an Association campaigning for the protection of firearms ownership within the UK. Primary objectives are to encourage unity and positive action within the shooting community and to promote and defend individual firearms ownership and the shooting sports. In the lead up to the 2015 General Election we canvased the parliamentary candidates for their views on shooting sports and firearms ownership. We sent an email questionnaire asking seven questions; 1. Do you believe in a total ban on private firearms ownership? 2. Do you believe that private firearms ownership should face greater restrictions? 3. Do you believe the current system is balanced/there is no need for change? 4. Do you support all forms of currently legal shooting in the UK? (If there are exceptions please state) 5. Would you oppose any moves to further restrict private firearms ownership/use in the UK? 6. Do you believe that our firearms laws are in need of reformation and sensible relaxation? 7. If you support UK citizen’s rights to participate in shooting sports do you also support changing the law to permit .22 rimfire pistols to be used for competitive shooting thus allowing ordinary UK citizens to properly train to enable them to compete in international events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth games? We obtained a database of candidate’s details from www.yournextmp.com. The database contained email addresses for 3361 of the 3969 candidates listed. Unfortunately, 183 of these email addresses were incorrect. We managed to correct some of these and sent a follow up email to the candidates.

    THE DOGS THAT DIDN'T BARK: POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND NATIONALISM IN SCOTLAND, WALES AND ENGLAND Nicholas Brooke A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2016 Full metadata for this item is available in Research@StAndrews:FullText at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/8079 This item is protected by original copyright The Dogs That Didn't Bark: Political Violence and Nationalism in Scotland, Wales and England Nicholas Brooke This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 30th June 2015 1 Abstract The literature on terrorism and political violence covers in depth the reasons why some national minorities, such as the Irish, Basques and Tamils, have adopted violent methods as a means of achieving their political goals, but the study of why similar groups (such as the Scots and Welsh) remained non-violent, has been largely neglected. In isolation it is difficult to adequately assess the key variables behind why something did not happen, but when compared to a similar violent case, this form of academic exercise can be greatly beneficial. This thesis demonstrates what we can learn from studying ‘negative cases’ - nationalist movements that abstain from political violence - particularly with regards to how the state should respond to minimise the likelihood of violent activity, as well as the interplay of societal factors in the initiation of violent revolt. This is achieved by considering the cases of Wales, England and Scotland, the latter of which recently underwent a referendum on independence from the United Kingdom (accomplished without the use of political violence) and comparing them with the national movement in Ireland, looking at both violent and non-violent manifestations of nationalism in both territories.
