On an average, every two weeks, a language spoken somewhere in the world disappears. In theory, language rights are formally enshrined in several international treaties, yet in practice their protection is not sufficient. In consideration of this, a group of civil society organisations, assisted by experts in the field have come together to plan a Summit on Language Diversity in Europe, which will take place in December 2016. A Protocol on Language Diversity, an effective tool supporting language equality and diversity in Europe, will be presented at the event. The project is part of the 2016 Donostia/San Sebastian European Capital of Culture.A presentation of the project will take place at the European Parliament in Brussels on 10 November 2015 from 10:00 – 12:00, Room ASP 5E1, hosted by Jordi Sebastiá MEP (EFA/Greens), Co-Chairman of the Intergroup for Traditional Minorities and National Communities and Languages. Coffee, tea and a generous breakfast will be provided at the beginning of the event.The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO), as well as representatives from Kontseilua, the Council of Basque Language Entities, and from the Donostia/San Sebastian 2016 Capital of Culture Foundation, will present the structure, objectives and achievements of the project, and the role that they foresee for States, international and transnational organisations, including the EU, at a later stage
