The plan stems from a diagnosis of the Catalan language situation in the municipality and a shared commitment to reinforce its presence in all areas of daily life. The Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística (Linguistic Normalization Consortium), through the Oficina de Català de Valls (Catalan Office of Valls), has actively participated in its development.
The document establishes a framework for action to promote the knowledge and use of Catalan, with a particular focus on areas such as education, linguistic reception, commerce, public services, culture, sports, and associative fabric. It also aims to create more opportunities for language use, especially for learners and young people.
Key lines of work include promoting Catalan learning, raising awareness about linguistic rights, promoting the language in services and leisure activities, and strengthening collaboration between administrations, entities, and social agents.
The approval of this plan marks a step forward in consolidating a continuous municipal language policy and reinforces the collaborative network that various institutions and entities in the city have been working on for years in favor of Catalan. Valls thus joins municipalities such as Altafulla and Torredembarra that have already adopted similar measures.
