We have continued to engage with schools, businesses and the local community in Liskeard and Penzance, increasing participation in our ‘clusters’, as well as delivering in Camborne for the first time. A plethora of resources have been added to the Go Cornish website, ranging from Phrasebooks to articles showcasing inspirational use of the Cornish Language. These have reached a sizeable audience, supported by promotion on social media channels. A new Memrise course has been developed to support study for the Kesva Grade 1 and the Magi Ann app remains extremely popular resource for younger children. Through additional funding, we have also employed a Programme Manager, laid the groundwork to deliver a cluster in Bodmin in 2020 and created a range of new teaching resources, including a series of lessons tailored to secondary school students, a day long intensive course, and a 2nd Magi Ann App. 2.

The Western Morning News printed a Cornish Language quote in February 2020. 3. BONNIOW / CLUSTERS: A. ‘BLAS AN TAVES’ (A TASTE OF CORNISH) 2020 was the first year running ‘Blas an Taves’ in Camborne, which was selected due to its compelling tender submission in 2017. There was initially very positive engagement from Camborne Town Council, however part way through the programme the main contact went on Maternity Leave and an addition point of contact was not identified. Overall, engagement was lower than hoped and moving forwards to 2020 we will review our approach. A1. SCHOOLS Delivery to schools was based closely on our tried and tested model, piloted and delivered in Penzance and Liskeard for the past three years. Over a six-week period, participating schools were invited to attend a weekly training seminar where teachers and support staff were introduced to the Tales from Porth learning resources. Additionally, each school was offered a visit from the Golden Tree team in order to introduce and launch the project to pupils. Following feedback from schools in Liskeard and Penzance, we elected to engage a single Art Practitioner, who we worked with to ensure the art workshops maintained a strong focus on the Cornish language and were age appropriate. Participating schools took part in an art workshop order to produce Tales from Porth inspired window displays. These then formed a focal point for a Cornish Language Trail to take place as the culmination of the project. The following schools took part: Weeth School, Treloweth School, Illogan School, Pencoys School, Chacewater School, Camborne Nursery and Camborne Science and International Academy. A2. FAMILY TRAIL On Saturday 27th July, children were invited to take part in Lergh Teylu Blasa an Taves: a family Cornish Language Taster Trail. Six businesses took part, each hosting a stop on the trail. Children travelled around Camborne Town centre, answering questions in Cornish to earn 6 stamps and a delicious cakey tea in the town square. There were 40 participants in total. “I enjoyed learning new words in Cornish. Meur ras!” - Participant in the Schools Programme and Family Trail A3. TUESDAY NIGHTS Concurrently with the schools programme, we delivered three informal drop-in sessions at Camborne Library. Following our established model, these combined introductory Cornish Conversation with a primer of Cornish language singing, delivered by Hilary Coleman. The library was a good venue for the sessions, with a positive atmosphere but there was minimal engagement from library staff. The attendance at the sessions was good, with an average of 20 attendees at each session. “Meur ras for my first Cornish speaking taster in Cornwall library last night. Great fun I’m looking forward to the next one! Splann!” - Caroline Wilkinson A4. SINGING TRAIL The library language tasters culminated on 27th July as participants congregated on Commercial Square in the centre of Camborne to perform the songs which they had learnt. 22 people came together on the square, including local singers who joined the performance. The songs performed included a Cornish Language rendition of ‘Camborne Hill’ which the audience were able to join in with as the team distributed word sheets. B. ‘NADELIK LYSKERRYS’ (LISKEARD CORNISH CHRISTMAS) 2019 acted as a successful handover year for ‘Nadelik Lyskerrys’,
