Comprehensive report about the OWL+ module on four regional languages

OWL+ is an ongoing 3–year Erasmus+ Key Action 2 Partnerships for Cooperation project that creates pathways for educators to integrate under-resourced endangered languages into their teaching activities. OWL+ is a consortium of five organisations in five different countries working together on pathways for under-resourced languages’ use in educational settings. The expertises of the consortium members include issues on Latgalian (LV), Mirandese (PT), South Saami (NO), and West Frisian (NL). 

Mercator European Research Centre/Fryske Akademy coordinates the project,

 

Comprehensive report

The OWL+ module is packed with relevant information for all language enthusiasts and education professionals who want to dive deep into the topic of minority language maintenance. Furthermore, the module provides insights into the broader contexts of minority languages in Europe as well as showing examples of good practices also for persons working with other minority languages. In this way, the module tries to show users of non-majority languages from different regions of Europe that there are many people working in similar situations.

The project team prepared a comprehensive report based on the OWL+ module. The description and comparison of the four languages that are covered in the units (Latgalian, Mirandese, South Saami, and West Frisian) aim to help understand each of the four minority languages better by looking at their unique qualities and the difficulties they face.
