We are looking for authors for our Regional Dossiers series!

The Regional Dossiers focus on the educational system in European regions that have an autochthonous lesser-used language, and on how the lesser-used language is embedded in this system. The Regional dossiers are written according to a fixed structure so that they can be used for comparative research. 

The dossiers provide information on:

• educational statistics, such as number of bilingual schools, percentage of children learning the lesser-used language, language skills of teachers, etc.;

• policies regarding education of the lesser-used language;

• the structure of the educational system in the area;

• speakers numbers of the lesser-used language;

• institutions supporting the lesser-used language.
