🌍 FOSTERLANG Workshop – Donostia 2026

We have tried to capture, as far as possible, the richness of the days we spent in Donostia. It was a space for exchange, bringing together different perspectives, knowledge, and experiences around Europe’s linguistic diversity and the communities that sustain it.

The workshop offered an opportunity to connect, reflect, and share ongoing work in the field, highlighting the value of collaboration across regions, disciplines, and languages.
