Regional Dossiers

The Regional Dossiers focus on the education 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.

Regional Dossiers in progress

The editorial team is always working on the series. For the year 2024, the team hopes to publish new and updated editions, including dossiers on Albanian in Italy (2nd ed.), Corsican in France (3rd ed.), Italian in Croatia (1st ed.), Karelian in the Karelian Republic (1st ed.), Maltese in Malta (2nd ed.), German in Alsace (3rd ed.) and Friulian in Italy (2nd ed.).
