The Linguistic Normalization Center of Tarragona has organized various complementary activities to bring language, culture, and the local environment closer to students of its Catalan courses, fostering real-world learning and social participation.

The activities, including tours, workshops, and visits, aim to promote the use of Catalan outside the classroom and enrich students' cultural engagement. Most take place outside of regular class hours, although some are part of the course curriculum.
Recently, nearly fifty people participated in cultural tours such as 'Mysteries and Legends' and 'Medieval Tarragona,' led by Itinere, discovering historical episodes and figures of the city. Other visits included the facilities of the Emergency Call and Management Center 112 in Reus, accompanied by volunteers from Civil Protection of Constantí, and the Deu Museum in El Vendrell, guided by language volunteers.
Students also visited municipal libraries in Salou and El Vendrell to learn about their services, and in Tarragona and Valls, they practiced vocabulary in urban settings. In Vila-seca, a dubbing workshop was held with actress Alba Aluja, and in Calafell and El Vendrell, Scrabble games were organized in collaboration with the International Scrabble Federation in Catalan (FISC).
The program will continue with activities focused on the natural environment, including a tour of the Tarragona coast with the Tarragona Excursionist Center and a visit to the Séquia Major in La Pineda, Vila-seca.
