LIAISE is an Erasmus+ project based on the principle and imperative need to preserve linguistic diversity and safeguard minority languages, as advocated by European and international organisations.
The project’s implementation will enact measures that promote, protect, and revitalise regional and minority languages and dialects. The project’s materials, such as educational resources, cultural productions and online platforms, will be available in those minor languages, enhancing their visibility in public life.
This will enable the creation and fostering of inclusive societies where linguistic and cultural diversity is supported and celebrated.
