     Recently, we have been fighting hard for Kashubia. we want it to be seen, and above all, we want Kashubian language to be felt everywhere: on the radio, in church, in offices, at school. it is for the latter that a new path is born. It will be possible to take Kashubian for the first time at the high school leaving exam in May this year.
