                                                (CIDLeS) cordially
                                                invites all the European
                                                minority language
                                                communities to
                                                participate in the
                                                Language Fair – a
                                                socio-cultural 2-day
                                                event which aims at
                                                getting the general
                                                public acquainted with
                                                linguistic diversity in
                                                Europe, mainly its
                                                endangered/minority
                                                languages (including
                                                those spoken by
                                                immigrants). Therefore,
                                                this event focuses on
                                                discussion and social,
                                                intercultural and
                                                scientific exchange
                                                between different
                                                communities that speak
                                                endangered/minority
                                                languages, on the
                                                promotion of their
                                                cultural and linguistic
                                                heritage, as well as on
                                                the presentation of
                                                modern bands that
                                                perform in their native
                                                languages.<br>
                                                <br>
                                                There are three
                                                different ways for a
                                                community to participate
                                                in the Language Fair:
                                                with an exhibition
                                                stand, with a cultural
                                                performance or both. In
                                                this sense, each
                                                community will be able
                                                to have a stand to
                                                exhibit its own language
                                                (for instance through
                                                literary and scientific
                                                works, films, CDs, DVDs,
                                                posters, etc. excepting
                                                food), as well as to
                                                present the language in
                                                a 20-to-30-minute
                                                cultural performance
                                                (theater sketch,
                                                traditional music,
                                                cinema, dance,
                                                recitation, etc.). The
                                                bands will perform in
                                                the evening (October
                                                18th and 19th) and their
                                                performance will be part
                                                of the Endangered
                                                Languages Music Festival
                                                that will be launched
                                                during this event. The
                                                Language Fair aims above
                                                all to give the voice to
                                                the speakers of minority
                                                languages in Europe in
                                                diverse ways.<br>
                                                <br>
                                                Financial support (a
                                                maximum of €300,
                                                original receipts are
                                                required) will be
                                                granted to communities
                                                participating with an
                                                exhibition stand and/or
                                                a cultural performance.<br>
                                                <br>
                                                The Language Fair will
                                                take place at an old
                                                textile factory in Minde
                                                – Fábrica Emídio da
                                                Silva Raposo. This
                                                factory is emblematic of
                                                the socioeconomic
                                                history of Minde and is
                                                intrinsically related to
                                                the genesis of
                                                Minderico, an endangered
                                                language (ISO 639-3
                                                [drc]) spoken in Minde
                                                since the end of the
                                                17th century. Minderico
                                                emerged as a sociolect,
                                                the secret language of a
                                                socio-professional
                                                group, in this case the
                                                blanket producers and
                                                traders of Minde. But it
                                                rapidly developed into a
                                                full-fledged language
                                                and became a medium of
                                                everyday communication
                                                in Minde, used by the
                                                whole community.
                                                Minderico has
                                                approximately 150 active
                                                speakers (who use the
                                                language daily) and 1000
                                                passive speakers (those
                                                who understand the
                                                language but do not
                                                speak it); its existence
                                                is currently seriously
                                                endangered.<br>
                                                <br>
                                                The Language Fair will
                                                close the general event
                                                dedicated to the
                                                endangered languages in
