The regions of La Costera and Canal de Navarrés are currently celebrating the Valencian language with the 28th Sambori Award and the preparation of the 34th Trobada d’Escoles en Valencià, solidifying the educational community's efforts in promoting Valencian.

Canal de Navarrés will host the presentation of the 28th Sambori Award on April 17, taking place at 6:00 PM at the Municipal Auditorium of Chella. The event will gather students, teachers, and families for a day dedicated to literary creativity in Valencian.
This edition has seen the participation of five Infant and Primary schools and one Secondary school, with a total of 526 students, 32 classrooms, and 19 teachers involved. These figures reflect the consolidation of the competition in the region. The event will feature entertainment by storyteller El Gran Jordiet.

"It's great that they come to a Castilian-speaking town; although in La Canal we speak Castilian, there are young people who speak Valencian."

The jury of the Sambori Award in Canal de Navarrés has highly praised the quality of the submitted works, while also reflecting on new technological tools in literary creation.

"The level is very good, at least those I have read, but we must be vigilant and we will have to talk to the foundation to see what approach we take to AI, because the use of intelligences has been noted. This does not mean they are rejectable, but it must be taken into account when awarding prizes."

Josep Roca · President of the regional Coordinator and jury member
Concurrently, in La Costera, the 28th Sambori Award continues with the participation of 22 Infant and Primary schools, one special education center, and seven Secondary schools. In total, 3,074 students, 226 classrooms, and 451 teachers are part of the project in the region.
The presentation of the Sambori Award in La Costera will take place on April 24 at 6:00 PM at the Municipal Auditorium of Llocnou d’En Fenollet, featuring a performance by Magician Carlos Barfi.
The 34th Trobada d’Escoles en Valencià de La Costera will be held on May 9 in Llocnou d’En Fenollet, transforming the municipality into a space for celebration, education, and linguistic advocacy. Under the motto 'We have history, we are future', the day will include an initial parade and nearly eighty didactic workshops, in addition to performances by muixerangues, popular dances, and live music.
