====[[File:PanCelt.png]] Pan-Celticism====
'''Pan-Сelticism''' is a political, social and cultural movement in support of unification, solidarity and cooperation between the inhabitants of the Celtic regions (those of Gaelic and Brittonic origin) and all modern Celts of Northwest Europe. Some Pan-Celtic organizations advocate for the separation of the Celtic regions from the [[File:Cball-UK.png]] United Kingdom and [[File:Cball-France.png]] France and the creation of either a [[File:Fed.png]] [[Federalism|united federal state]] or some form of [[File:Confed.png]] [[Confederalism|confederation]] - as a rule, such organizations widely support [[File:Cball-Ireland.png]] Irish [[File:PLB-StPat.png]], [[File:Cball-Scotland.png]] Scottish, [[File:CBall-Wales.png]] Welsh, [[File:Cball-Brittany.png]] Breton, [[File:Cball-Cornwall.png]] Cornish and [[File:Cball-IsleOfMan.png]] Manx forms of [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism]].

In Central and Western Europe, a significant proportion of the inhabitants have Celtic roots. It is believed that the surviving language of the Celtic family is considered the "soul" of Celticism, and it is for this reason that such regions like [[File:Cball-Galicia.png]] Galicia in the northwestern [[File:Cball-Spain.png]] Spain were not included in the Celtic League.

For about a century (from 1838 to 1939), the Pan-Celtic movement was one of the most influential nationalist movements. The first Pan-Celtic gatherings were held at festivals of Celtic culture such as '''Gorsedd''' and '''Eisteddfod''', in 1917 the International Celtic Congress was formed, which is held annually. Since then, the Celtic League has been considered to be the face of the Pan-Celtic movement. Nowadays pan-Celticists prefer cultural exchange rather than political cooperation, as various pan-Celtic music, art and literature festivals are organized.
