eUniv and Ateneu Barcelonès start an institutional cooperation relationship to promote the language

The agreement includes, among others, the creation of an institutional delegation of the Barcelona University in Sant Julià

The European University and the Ateneu Barcelonès reached an institutional cooperation agreement last June, which marks the beginning of a relationship born with the desire to promote and strengthen the Catalan language within the area of ​​Catalanophony. The rector of the eUniv, Dr. Antoni Noguero, and the president of the Ateneu Barcelonès, Isona Passola, signed the agreement which includes several collaborative activities.

“We are an Andorran university and, as such, it is also our responsibility to defend the use and survival of the language”, said Dr. Noguero. In the same way, from the Ateneu they pronounce themselves adding that “this kind of initiatives, which go beyond borders, allow us to feed back with a clear objective; may the language survive”. The commitment between both entities is clearly reflected in the agreement to create an institutional delegation of the Ateneu Barcelonès at the eUniv headquarters in Sant Julià de Lòria.

Thus, the agreement also contemplates that both entities collaborate in the organization of conferences, round tables and presentations, the edition of publications and the organization of training programs. In addition, the collectives of the eUniv and the Ateneu Barcelonès will be able to make use of the respective libraries.

The Ateneu Barcelonès is an association that has supported Catalan society and culture for more than one hundred and fifty years, with the aim of being one of the main centers of intellectual debate.

Its main objectives are to promote citizen cultural self-education, promote an open, transversal and constructive dialogue with civil society, be a center for the dissemination of national debates and a creative nucleus to promote intellectual activity collective.
