Events
A spectacular day in defence of the language in Valencia, where two major mobilisations came together: the Correllengua Agermanat’s passage through the city 🏃♂️🏃♀️ and the traditional 25th April demonstration, called by Acció Cultural del País Valencià (ACPV), with thousands of participants and the involvement of ELEN member organisations such as Omnium Cultural, Obra Cultural Balear, Plataforma per la Llengua and CIEMEN.
The reading of the Correllengua manifesto marked the beginning of the demonstration, turning the streets of Valencia into a powerful celebration of language, culture, and collective commitment ✊📣
A clear reminder that Valencià (which is the name used for the shared language, Catalan, in the País Valencià) is a shared heritage that must be protected, and that minoritised languages need continued support to thrive 🌍✨
