The Multilingual Education Unit (UEM) at the Universitat Jaume I has launched the ValEn programme, which aims to promote Catalan and English in teaching to reach a productive and active trilingualism and a real multilingualism. As a first step, the Unit has launched a campaign in preschool and primary schools to avoid dubbing in the visual exposure of children.

The UEM encourages all educational institutions not to use dubbed audiovisual materials (films, cartoons, video games...) and to incorporate when available the original version (English in most cases). This isolated measure does not guarantee trilingualism for children, but it can contribute positively to improve their language skills. If it is accompanied by other initiatives derived from an expert academic advising, they can certainly promote the development of multilingualism.

This initiative arises from the outcomes of the studies conducted by the Multilingual Education Unit, since all of them confirm the importance, influence and impact of media on language development of girls and boys in multilingual communities. The results of this research points out the suitability of exposing girls and boys to the less dominant languages ​​in their community, particularly to foreign languages ​​and/or minority languages.

The UEM plans to develop other actions of the programme involving a wider spread of research outcomes, training activities and the assessment of civic initiatives that promote multilingualism.
