We believe that cultural diversity is a value to be defended.
We believe that the most concrete strategies for the safeguard of traditional, minority and indigenous cultures is to modernise them, also trying to save some of their specific characteristics.
We believe that folklorism, and laudatio temporis acti, as well as projects that only aim at the recovery of aspects of traditional culture - with the aim of exposing it in some form of museum - without simultaneously equipping these cultures and these communities with their own tools to deal with modernity, are, in reality, enemies (perhaps involuntary and in good faith) of this minor culture.
We believe that any serious cultural defence project must start from the defence of language; and that modernisation must pass through a written form that is as coherent and common as possible.
We believe that digital technologies can make a decisive contribution to the process of linguistic modernisation, promotion and dissemination among the younger generations.
We believe that digital technologies can make a decisive contribution to the process of linguistic modernisation, promotion and dissemination among the younger generations.
We believe that knowledge should have the widest possible circulation, and that the access to the cultural heritage of mankind should not be restricted in any way; and this is particularly true of linguistic resources, since language is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of the human being.
