Goals / Remit
ELEN has as its goal, to the exclusion of any profit seeking, the promotion and protection of lesser-used (i.e. regional, minority, indigenous, co-official and smaller state) languages, hereafter LULs, to work towards linguistic equality for these languages under the broader framework of human rights, and to be a voice for the speakers of LULs at the local, regional, national, European and international level.
To accomplish this goal, the Network will:
•engage in advocacy for the promotion and protection of LULs;
•exchange information and experience regarding policy making for LULs at the European, national and regional level of governance;
•promote education and research in and about LULs;
•promote understanding, collaboration and partnerships for LULs in the broader context of the promotion of linguistic diversity.Main EU files targeted
