Promoting Linguistic Diversity in France: Regional Languages and Cultural Heritage Initiatives

This workshop, led by Sarah Faraud, explores the impressive linguistic diversity of France, encompassing 15 regional languages, 4 creoles, and languages from Guyana and Oceania. It emphasizes the importance of promoting these languages through affirmative actions, enhancing school programs, media representation, and local engagement. The discussion also addresses the challenges of gaining public attention, the necessity for best practices in cultural content digitization, and a network for architectural and archaeological terminology. Join us in valuing and preserving France's cultural and linguistic heritage.
