Beyond Signs in the City

Beyond Signs in the City seeks to raise awareness of different languages through their visual representations (signs and symbols that appear in a city’s signs). It is built over the Signs in city project, which created an easily adaptable and transferable educational and promotional model through innovative attractive approaches based on visualization of cultural specifics of 5 European cities with relation to the linguistic aspects. The project adds to the cities of Signs 4 new cities, continues the promotion of BG, EL, ES, PL, MT, and promotes 6 new languages – DE, SI, RO, HU, TR, and Catalan.
The project aims at increasing the possibilities for efficient and sustainable language promotion of the cities that are part of the project by involving the most important actors in the promotion of a city’s language and culture (such as local authorities, cultural institutions, the media, schools, SMEs and the local tourism sector).
