This personal approach opened the doors to a history and cultural wealth that she now wishes to share. She also discovered that the language spoken during her childhood was Gallo, another essential component of the Breton linguistic heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through her presence on social media, Ma\u00eflys Princ\u00e9 helps to make the language, history, and cultures of Brittany accessible. She upholds a simple belief: one does not need to have grown up speaking Breton or Gallo to be interested in their roots, to learn about them, and to participate in their transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His view of Brittany thus combines <strong>cultural transmission, civic engagement and reflection on autonomy<\/strong>. For her, bringing Breton languages and cultures to life involves both individual initiatives and collective choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this new interview with <strong>Voice of Brittany<\/strong>, Ma\u00eflys Princ\u00e9 talks about her journey, the young people\u2019s attachment to Brittany, and the different ways of getting involved for their future.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"635\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Vagues_voix_de_Bretagne.png\" alt=\"Vague Voices of Brittany\" class=\"wp-image-1700\" style=\"width:205px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Vagues_voix_de_Bretagne.png 635w, https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Vagues_voix_de_Bretagne-300x71.png 300w, https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Vagues_voix_de_Bretagne-18x4.png 18w, https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Vagues_voix_de_Bretagne-585x139.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When did you realize that Brittany held such an important place in your life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think it\u2019s learning Breton, starting in 2018, so that I can speak it with my daughter at home. <br>I discovered a wealth of cultural and historical knowledge that made me want to pass on that knowledge and also talk about history and politics. At the same time, I discovered that the language I had heard at home when I was little was Gallo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What view do you have of young people\u2019s attachment to Brittany today?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think that we can reclaim our culture at any age, even without having grown up speaking Breton or Gallo. <br>The Internet makes language and history accessible to new people. But this interest must also be able to be translated into concrete transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes Brittany so strong today?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the Bretons and the Bretons who make the cultures of Brittany live. <br>A language or a history cannot be transmitted on its own: it takes people to learn them, to share them and to make them evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In which areas would greater responsibility for Brittany be useful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am thinking in particular of the transmission of Breton languages and cultures, but also of transport, public services and land development. <br>The essential question is how decisions can better respond to the realities experienced in Brittany. <strong>The autonomy of Brittany can answer this.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What message should be given to young people who love Brittany but don\u2019t dare to get involved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/en\/think-tanks\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/comites-de-reflexion\/\">Don\u2019t wait to become experts or perfectly legitimate to start out. <\/a><\/strong><br>Learning a few words, passing on a story, joining an association: it all counts. <br>And above all, don\u2019t forget that everything is political: the language you learn, the culture you transmit, and the society in which you choose to live.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"635\" height=\"151\"
