The initiative is set against a backdrop of concern over the decline in the social use of Catalan, seeking not only promotion but also active participation from attendees. During the gathering, experiences were exchanged and concrete actions were proposed to reverse this trend.
In the sports sector, various entities shared diagnoses and initiatives related to the presence of Catalan within their organizations. Following an initial presentation by the participating entities, an introductory explanation was provided on the role of language as a cohesive element in the sports world. This intervention highlighted the objectives of projects working to establish Catalan as the habitual language in clubs' internal and external communication.
Among the participants, the presence of a former footballer who spoke about the Escola de Futbol La Caserna was noted. The overall assessment of the conference was very positive, with an organizer and member of Plataforma per la Llengua stating that the event was "fully successful" and emphasizing "the sincere commitment of all entities to establish criteria and initiatives that improve the presence of Catalan".
“"All are committed to Catalan and willing to make more efforts to advance."
Although the level of language use varies among clubs, the general commitment to Catalan and the willingness to make further efforts were highlighted. The entities agreed to implement improvement tools and establish mechanisms for Plataforma per la Llengua to monitor progress, with periodic meetings to strengthen collaboration.
The final atmosphere was one of enthusiasm and a desire for continuity, with the idea of repeating these meetings annually to exchange experiences and initiatives. Appreciation was extended to the participants, many of whom had to balance sports commitments outside the city, demonstrating their dedication to the language.
