Soliña Barreiro (GEA) will be speaking at the debate on linguistic plurality in the Galician audiovisual sector in the European Parliament.

Professor Soliña Barreiro will present the book Perante a nova Lei do Audiovisual: análise e perspectivas, of which she was the coordinator, and in which the Grupo de Estudos Audiovisuais (GEA) of the University de Santiago de Compostela compiles the main contributions of the conference, held at the Faculty of Communication Sciences on 15 September 2022 in collaboration with A Mesa pola Normalización Lingüística. The conference was attended by University of País Vasco, the Asociación Galega de Produtoras Independentes (AGAPI), the Asociación Galega Sindical de  Guionistas (AGAG), the Asociación Galega de Profesionais da Tradución e a Interpretación (AGPTI), the Plataforma por la Llengua and Konstseilua. This volume is the result of the collaboration between academia, the audiovisual sector and citizens, united by the concern about the consequences that the new General Law on Audiovisual Communication will have for the Galician audiovisual sector and the cultural and linguistic diversity of the sector, with the aim of transferring knowledge to society and providing recommendations to public institutions.

The European Parliament’s Language Intergroup, made up of representatives from various groups in the European Parliament, considers that the audiovisual sector must be a strategic field of action for any policy that truly seeks to normalise languages and that it is therefore a matter of great importance for the Galician audiovisual sector.
