[RNLD] Master-Apprentice programs?

[Julia Sallabank]

Dear Ryan

This is a really useful and worthwhile list.

There are a number of schemes in the Catalan/Occitan area in France/Spain
which may not come up in an online search for 'master/mentor-aprentice', as
they're called something like 'volunteering for the language' (in the
relevant language), e.g.

http://llengua.gencat.cat/ca/occita/30_aran/05_volontariat_per_aranes/
http://www.vxl.cat/
https://www.upf.edu/vl/

Also, there are informal 1:1 arrangements in many places that are not
reported in academic journals and so are 'below the radar'.

Best wishes

Julia
