Welcome and apologies Councillor Cole welcomed everyone to the first meeting of 2020. Apologies were noted as recorded above. As Cllr Hawken had to leave for another appointment, it was decided that item 7 - (Education project update) become item 2 on the agenda. Due to the unavailability of Paula Ruskin, Catherine Gill had agreed to take some basic notes of the meeting, which it was noted would not therefore be as comprehensive as previous meetings. 2. Education project update It was noted that Cornwall Council had commissioned an Education Project, to build upon the outcomes of the Azook report commissioned by the Working Group in 2018/19. Following concerns raised at the October meeting, Graeme Plunkett of School Effectiveness and newly appointed Cornish Curriculum Education Development Officer, Michelle Lineham, had been invited to attend this meeting and report further. As previously, members were keen to know how the project was contributing practically to getting a consistent approach to Cornish teaching into schools, developing a deeper understanding of Cornish culture amongst teaching staff, and how the message was being communicated to young children so that they were able to carry it through to adult life. Michelle provided an overview of the intended implementation plan for the Cornish Curriculum and she explained that a Cornish Curriculum Framework was being developed with a view to launch the Pilot Curriculum in September 2020. She added that on 5 March they would be having a “soft launch” of the initiative and Page 2 InformationInformation Classification: Classification: CONTROLLED PUBLIC AGENDA ITEM 2 asking ‘stakeholders’ (e.g. museums, Gorsedh Kernow) what they can do to support the Cornish Curriculum. It was also noted that a related conference was being planned for July to which members of the Working Group, stakeholders and pilot schools would be invited. There was a wide-ranging discussion and numerous questions asked. Cllr Pollard voiced concern over the short period before the September launch date, and questioned where the Cornish Curriculum would sit with the National Curriculum. Michelle confirmed it would sit alongside the National Curriculum. Cllr German enquired about the period of evaluation for pupils, which is planned for two-three years primarily. It was reported that there were to be three Curriculum Consultants appointed to work in schools in July/August and explained that part of their role would be to promote this project. Some members expressed worries about the likely portrayal of Cornish history – wanting it to be accurate and true. Cllr Biscoe stated that there may be existing resources and queried what would be the thoughts of OFSTED, CAPH and CASH. Michelle explained they would also be working with DfE. Ian Saltern added that he welcomed progress of this initiative and suggested referring to Welsh / Scottish models. Serious questions were also raised about how the project would engage with and use the skills of existing professionals in relevant spheres across Cornwall Cllr Cole asked that a plan of their intentions be circulated in February ahead of 5 March Michelle “soft launch.” He added that it was his intention to get a better feel for the project and Lineham / report back to other members of the Working Group. Graeme Plunkett 3. Minutes and matters arising from previous meeting – 15 October 2019 The minutes were agreed as a true and accurate record. 4. Census and Cornish ‘Tick-Box’ update Matt Barton explained that the campaign for tick-box was supported by all of Cornwall’s MPs. It was noted that the new MP for Truro and Falmouth, Cherilyn Mackrory, was to be briefed shortly. Ian Saltern asked if anyone had been in contact with Wales / Scotland to ask the value of Matt Barton/ a Cornish tick-box in the other Celtic nations)and made the point that the Council of Rebecca Europe are calling for this tick-box not just Cornwall Council Cohen Cllr German asked for a further letter to be produced to brief MP about the Council’s Matt Barton representations for a tick-box. Matt Barton aware that we must prepare an action plan for Plan A (campaign for the Matt Barton tick-box) and also Plan B (promotion of the write-in option should the tick-box campaign fail) 5. Cornish Culture Fund – Future Funding and New Frontiers update Page 3 InformationInformation Classification: Classification: CONTROLLED PUBLIC AGENDA ITEM 2 Page 4 InformationInformation Classification: Classification: CONTROLLED PUBLIC AGENDA ITEM 2 Mark Trevethan made a funding request for £5000 towards the production of a Mark summary document of the previous public sector broadcast report, so that it could be Trevethan used as a lobbying document. Moved by Cllr Pollard, seconded by Cllr German, it was AGREED that this would be funded. Matt Barton added that there is a refresher of New Frontiers on the way and it could be ahead of Chancellor’s statement in March. 6. Cornwall Council Membership of ELEN It was noted that, at the previous meeting of the Working Group, there had been a discussion about the Council becoming a member of the European Language Equality Mark Network (ELEN). Cllr Cole stated that he could see no reason why Cornwall Council Trevethan / should not be a member of this organisation. It was noted that the annual cost was Cllr Cole £250.

Paula Ruskin Page 5 Information Classification: CONTROLLED AGENDA ITEM 3 Report to Cornish National Minority Working Group – June 2020 Public Service Media for Kernow Background • Falmouth University was commissioned by Cornwall Council to research the concept of public service media for Cornwall and this was published in summer 2019. • The study highlighted interest from other Celtic broadcasters due to a) need for original content, b) reputation for creativity and story telling in Cornwall, and c) a desire to show a broader range of content • New Frontiers asks for media hub, film talent development, creative industries. PSM Kernow brings all these elements together into one high profile project. • There is pressure on BBC to decentralise and diversify. At the same time, the House of Commons, House of Lords and DCMS exploring the future of public service media and desire for new models. Cornwall Council has submitted the case for PSM Kernow to these committees. • Cornwall has a developing supply chain but no commissioning body. • The creation of Screen Cornwall has raised the profile of film and TV production in Cornwall. • Screen Cornwall has helped ensure individual projects are produced to industry standards and opened doors to our first joint project with S4C – Kara Kana and Cornish language apps for children. • Screen Cornwall/Cornish Language Office/ Falmouth University are developing a presence for Cornish language film with Yn Mor (Fylm K 2018) winning best short drama at the Celtic Media Festival 2020, and An Tarow (Fylm K) being selected for best Celtic short at the BAFTA- qualifying Carmarthen Bay Film Festival 2020.

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).
