Mònica and Gabriela, collaborators at Radio Montornès, have joined this week as a new language pair for the Language Volunteer program (VPL). Their first meeting served to get acquainted and begin establishing rapport, with future official conversations in Catalan in mind.
Both share a passion for radio and language. Mònica is responsible for the monthly section Ecologia (Ecology) on the program Els matins (The Mornings), where she discusses nature and environmental preservation. Gabriela, on the other hand, presents the program Històries amb propòsit (Stories with Purpose) every two weeks, dedicated to interviewing people with inspiring life trajectories.
The Catalan Office in Montornès celebrates this new addition, confident that the pair's common interests will lead to many conversation topics. The pair is also encouraged to participate in the monthly discussion groups organized to promote the use of Catalan in a relaxed atmosphere.
Mònica is also a very active volunteer who has already collaborated with students from the Basic 2 course. Her connection to the region and her interest in nature open doors for future joint activities, such as nature discovery outings or walks when the weather improves.
The Consortium for the Linguistic Normalization (CPNL) encourages anyone interested in participating in the Language Volunteer program, either as volunteers or learners, to contact the Catalan Office in Montornès. The VPL is a key initiative to promote the social use of Catalan and strengthen the social cohesion of the municipality.
