Still don't know what HIGA is?

HIGA is a summit of young speakers of minoritized languages, which aims at the revitalization of minoritized languages and networking between different international communities.

 

As part of the 5-day program that will be organized in the city of Gasteiz in the Basque Country, members of different linguistic communities will have the opportunity to form and share their knowledge with other young speakers in the field of language revitalization and language activism. The morning sessions will have the format of a lecture or round table and are organized and certified as part of a training program of the Summer School of the University of the Basque Country. After lunch, workshops aimed at promoting collaboration and entrepreneurship between young speakers will be dynamised. Every evening various leisure activities will be scheduled to weave exchange and mutual knowledge in a more informal setting: concerts, screenings, cultural trips etc.

Mariam, TAMAZIGH

"It's a great space and opportunity to gather and meet indigenous youth and minorities from different places and countries."

Teija, SAAMI

"I got new inspiration to work on my language. The nicest was to notice that friends who speak minority languages have similar experiences, even though they are from all over the world."

Talwyn, BREZHONEG

"Each person who travelled to Vitoria-Gasteiz came to celebrate multilingualism and shared their story."
