Language volunteering (VxL) is a program to practice Catalan through conversation. It is based on the creation of language pairs formed by a person voluntary , who speaks Catalan fluently, and a person learning , who has a basic knowledge of it and wants to acquire fluency.
Language pairs meet 1 hour a week , for 10 weeks, and the place and time of meeting is to be agreed between the two people. The only requirement is to be of legal age .
The VxL offers two modalities: face-to-face (couples must attend the meeting place they have agreed) and virtual (Couples make encounters via the Internet, via video conferencing platforms).
The program was born in 2003 and more than 110,000 couples . It is a program recognized by the European Union and adopted in Aran, Perpignan, Andorra, the Valencian Country, the Balearic Islands and, also, in Bolzano (Italy), Flanders (Belgium).
You can register as a volunteer or as an apprentice at the Local Catalan Service of Sant Cugat (Casa de Cultura, 2nd floor) or here: http://www.vxl.cat/participa-hi
