NPLD-Coppieters Campus on planning and evaluation of language policies
Preparing professionals for language policy work in multilingual societies
Most European countries are multicultural and multilingual; hence addressing issues of policy and language planning is fundamental, particularly if we consider that the traditional view tends to hide minority cultures and languages.
The aim of this 3-day workshop is to train professionals that work within European minorities and regions with workshops and lectures that will provide the participants with methodological and practical foundations in the area of language policy, planning and evaluation.
The area of linguistic policy and language planning is an interdisciplinary field of research, and it is growing. There is increasing awareness about the importance of language policy and language planning in education, public service administration and in economic circles. For this reason, our workshops will include specialists from socio-linguistics, political science, economics and philosophy.
