On 11 november 2016, the Mercator Research Centre  will host a symposium - organised in consultation with other Frisian organisations - on the effects of migration on the position of minority languages. The relation between immigration, migrant languages and regional and minority languages is a theme that has become more and more important in recent years, in particular in the field of minority language education.

At the symposium, six speakers, each an expert of multilingualism and surrounding issues, will give their own (international) perspective on the issue. Participants will discuss how the experts’ views can be ‘translated’ to the situation in Fryslân.

The symposium is open to all.
