"Prima de las
lengas" ("Spring of Languages"): France, Toulouse
(1987-2000)
The idea of LF was
introduced by the occitans. They came to the idea to
organize LF in order to turn attention to minority
languages. In Toulouse LF is organized out-of doors, on the
central square of the town. Everybody has the right to come
and present any language by their own desire. All the
participants had the possibility to talk to representatives
of various languages and cultures and to examine
stand-exhibitions, which represented the multi colored world
of languages. One of the main parts of the Festival is the
international concert held also on the central square of
Toulouse.
