It describes the evolution of the project in Catalonia while assessing it on the basis of internal and external, positive and negative factors that highlight its main characteristics: working with volunteers to foster the social use of the language by improving oral expression, working in cooperation with institutions and organisations, having a positive effect on social cohesion and bringing a greater knowledge of the country. Finally, the article invites the institutions to promote similar initiatives.
