New funding to preserve Cornish culture and heritage
Communities Minister Lord Bourne has announced a new £200,000 fund will help support and preserve Cornwall’s rich language, heritage and culture.
The funding will help deliver Cornish language education for adults and young people, tackle barriers to education around the traditions and heritage of Cornwall, and provide media and technology opportunities for learners and speakers of Cornish.
Speaking at the UK National Minority Summit, Lord Bourne said: “As England’s only recognised regional or minority language, we should support the Cornish language and help it flourish for generations to come. Cornwall has a rich history and a distinctive identity, and it’s right that we are committed to promoting it. This new fund will help further develop projects around culture and heritage in the area.”
