This tool aims to highlight a growing citizen network and provide real-life spaces for practicing Catalan in everyday situations. The map distinguishes between businesses involved in the Volunteer for Language (VxL) program, offering environments to practice the language, and 'learner businesses,' primarily bars and restaurants that have received basic training to incorporate Catalan into customer service.
The map serves not only as an informational tool but also as a meeting point for individuals wishing to practice Catalan. All participating establishments and entities share the common goal of making Catalan a living, present, and accessible language.
A notable feature is the inclusion of photos and videos of some staff members, which give visibility to the people behind the establishments, showcase real participation experiences, and foster a closer connection with the public. This strengthens the network of collaborators and values the joint effort between the commercial sector, entities, and language promotion programs.
This map represents public recognition for the involved businesses and entities, contributing to the normalization of Catalan in daily commercial interactions. The tool is dynamic, continuously expanding and updating with new establishments and entities.
