On 21 and 22 March, the members of the Digital Language Diversity Project (DLDP) will meet in Pisa, Italy.

Following the launch of the Digital Use of Retail Languages survey in 2016, the results of these surveys were published in 2017.

Since then we have not been quiet. Based on the results obtained in these surveys, we have worked on the development of the Digital Survival Kit, a set of recommendations to encourage the use of minority languages.

At this meeting we will have the opportunity to present and discuss different kits depending on the language level. In this sense, we will address another of the objectives of the project, the training program aimed at speakers of minority languages. This educational program is being developed with the aim of revitalizing and facilitating the advancement of these four minority languages: Breton, Carelí, Sardines and Basque. The results of this work will be shown in a few months.

Finally, we will discuss the roadmap for digital linguistic diversity. The goal is for this roadmap to be a kind of guide for policy makers and stakeholders to help them decide in the future what digital tools language institutions and governments should develop to achieve an effective revitalization of minority or endangered languages.

At the meeting we will meet the following members of the DLDP project:

Claudia Soria, Irene Russo, Valeria Quochi and Paola Baroni, Consiglio Nacionalista delle Ricerche (Pisa, Italy)

Davyth Hicks, European Language Equality Network, ELEN (France)

Anneli Sarhimaa and Eleonore Kruse, Mainz University (Germany)

Tuomo Salonen, Carlist Language Association (KKS, Finland)

Antton Gurrutxaga and Klara Ceberio, Elhuyar Fundazioa (Euskal Herria)
