Language Youth Contest

A new roadmap was approved in 2021, which is committed to a strong culture with a Euroregional Mediterranean identity. In this sense, with regard to the strategic axis of culture, the Euroregion wants to enhance the value of its Euroregional languages and new cultures: boosting the practice and exchanges between young people around Euroregional languages and culture, and facilitating social integration and exchanges related to respect for cultural and linguistic diversity.

Within this framework, a youth competition is being promoted for projects on social networks to promote the Catalan and Occitan languages in the Euroregion.

Buscamos iniciativas juveniles en las redes sociales que fomenten el uso del catalán y el occitano para reconocer el valor / la calidad de iniciativas juveniles que generan un impacto positivo sobre el catalán y el occitano en la sociedad, influyen en la manera percibir estas lenguas y promueven el conocimiento, la presencia y el uso en la comunidad joven.
