The municipality of Vilafranca (Els Ports) is hosting the 12th Linguistic Volunteer Meeting of the Vives University Network this weekend. Coordinated by the Language Service of the Universitat Jaume I, the meeting aims to raise awareness of the region and promote the use of the local language among university students. The opening ceremony was attended by the mayoress, Sílvia Colom, and the vice-rector for Languages and Society at UJI, Carmen Lázaro, who stressed the importance of an initiative that "brings together universities and helps showcase the linguistic wealth of our territory."

Under the title "Heritage and depopulation: linguistic assertiveness versus conflict," around 100 participants from the University of Alicante, University of Barcelona, Universitat Jaume I, Universitat de Lleida, Universitat Politècnica de València, and Universitat de València are taking part. Attendees will enjoy a full program of activities, including debates, walks, heritage visits, and cultural events. The meeting began with an institutional inauguration in the Gothic rooms of Vilafranca Town Hall and continued with two lectures: one on dry-stone construction by Julio Monfort and another on Mediterranean rock art by Pilar Vidal, director of the Valltorta-Gassulla Cultural Park.

Throughout the weekend, there will be several walks to explore the surroundings of the Els Ports region, as well as lectures and discussions on a wide range of topics, such as the issue of depopulation in the area and linguistic assertiveness, understood as the ability to express oneself comfortably in any language, regardless of the language spoken by the interlocutor.

The University Linguistic Volunteering meetings are part of the Vives Forum of the Vives University Network, promoting exchange and reflection on communication strategies and the involvement of volunteers in the historical and cultural context.
