Quimper/Kemper 25.10.06: Communiqué from Eurominority: European Minorities Organisation
Eurominority floods Europe: Russian and Portuguese versions online...
Eurominority.org is a website exclusively devoted to information about Stateless Nations and national minorities.
Created in 1999, this information portal is now available in 21 different languages, which enables almost any European to access some rarely publicised/gathered data in such a way.
It is the best means possible to get to know the various European peoples, which constitute the richness and diversity of our continent.
Since 23rd October 2006, a Russian and a Portuguese version of this website have been available on line! This had to be publicised, because both languages will enable numerous Internet users to better grasp the problems and issues faced by minority groups.
Since its creation, Eurominority.org, has written as much material in the European official languages as in the minority ones, in order to target both small and large audiences.
In other words, the best way to promote minorities is to publicise their languages! This way, Breton, Basque, Catalan, Welsh, Frysian or Sardinian languages get as much visibility as other languages.
