Support for the protection and valorization of dialects, considered as real local languages, which are part of the regional historical, civic and cultural heritage. The Regional Council has approved a tender procedure that makes available 100 thousand euros for municipalities, unions of municipalities, provinces and metropolitan cities, cultural associations and organizations based in Emilia-Romagna registered in the Unified National Register of the Third Sector and other non-profit entities doing business in the territory for cultural purposes.
Eligible are projects that carry out the actions envisaged by Regional Law 16 of 2014, and in particular the study and research of local dialects, seminars, conferences and refresher courses, which also take place in collaboration with universities, research centers, cultural associations and experts.
Projects to establish professional bibliographic funds and documentary archives, including audio, may be supported. Due to the urgency of recording the voices of the last real witnesses of the various local dialects, priority will be given to projects that record the dialects of Emilia-Romagna and prepare specific sound archives that will be freely and freely available online to all researchers. .
Projects can also be financed to support teaching in schools for the dissemination of the culture associated with the dialects of Emilia-Romagna among new generations, favoring in particular the meeting of young and old with a view to intergenerational exchange.
