Elder speakers
They safeguard words, sounds and stories found in no document.
A diverse Calabria, not a uniform one
AI Calabria’s communities preserve the diversity of the region’s dialects and languages.
The project works only by bringing together generations, territories, skills, historic minorities and the communities that live in Calabria today.
Everyone has a mission
Every speaker can preserve a unique part of the linguistic heritage.
Young people and families
They record, contextualise and bring the language back into everyday life.
Classes and teachers
They turn collection into research, civic engagement and a team challenge.
Local organisations and associations
They activate municipalities, organise missions and involve speakers.
Researchers and experts
They help distinguish variants, sources, usages and uncertain reconstructions.
Digital facilitators
They enable people who do not use technology to contribute their voice nonetheless.
Linguistic communities
Calabria is greater than the sum of its local dialects.
The Atlas must offer distinct, independent pathways for the Arbëresh, Grecanic and Occitan communities, while opening up to the languages of new communities that are part of contemporary Calabria.
Collection with speakers, schools, associations and local communities.
Audio, vocabulary, stories and transmission between generations.
A dedicated pathway that is not confused with other forms of speech.
Contemporary communities can document their relationship with the territory.
Create a local team
A town can start with five people and inspire an entire community.
One speaker, one student, one teacher, one association and one validator are enough to launch missions, earn points and move the territory up the rankings.
