Description
Each month, the society publishes a Cornish Language publication called 'An Gannas' which consists of a wide variety of articles and features including stories, news, comment, puzzles as well as pages aimed specifically at beginners. Publishing is an important aspect of the work of the Kowethas.
Amongst the variety of materials that have been produced are diaries, calendars, books or modern and traditonal stories at various levels of Cornish, verse and children's books. Books with accompanying tapes are also produced to assist beginners. The Kowethas also produces tea-towels, mugs, car stickers, pens, cards, T-shirts and other items for sale, displaying the Cornish language. If you want to buy a particular item, have a look at our sales page.
During the year the Kowethas organises a number of language days, often supported by Cornish music or dancing, which give Cornish speakers the opportunity of meeting together in a Cornish speaking environment. For many people the highlight of the year is a fully residential extended weekend, the Pennseythun Gernewek, held usually in the spring. Other social activities include guided walks, Yeth an werin (a chance for general conversation in Kernewek, usually held in a local pub) and Dydhyow Lowender (Fun days where all events are organised in Cornish).
