The Department of Catalan Philology at the University of Valencia has launched a spot on its social media channels aiming to encourage students to choose this university degree. The video, described as "emotional," emphasizes that there are decisions "that arrive without you realizing it" and can be found "in a song, a book, a word."
According to the video's message, when these discoveries happen, "something awakens in you" and "the path you must take" is revealed. This path is made by "writing, telling, shouting," and leads to "loving" and "fighting." Despite potential doubts, the choice is considered correct if made by "getting excited, sharing, living," as it is made "with the head, but above all with the heart." The final slogan is "Embrace the language. Choose Catalan Philology."
Embrace the language. Choose Catalan Philology.
The choice of this field of study is considered "especially necessary for the health of Catalan" in the current context. The initiative aims to combat not only the decrease in the social use of the language but also the shortage of philologists for both teaching and language training courses.
