The Lingotell team helps safeguard the cultural heritage of minority language communities
Lingotell is a cooperation project between Sijti Jarnge (Norway), Fryske Akademy (The Netherlands) and Pro Progessione (Hungary). It uses traditional storytelling in a modern context as an identity creator by retelling, redesigning and redefining stories.
The partners use their extensive experience in the field of minority languages to explore the process of strengthening the indigenous and minority languages South Sámi, Frisian and Roma languages, and safeguarding the cultural heritage of these communities.
