Faberllull was always going to be a very special experience. Firstly, everything had been presented with a very well thought-out and attractive programme. Even before going there, I knew that everything interested me.
But it exceeded expectations. All the sessions allowed us to reflect in depth and helped us not only to exchange and discuss issues related to Catalan studies around the world but to become aware of the work done by different associations, with different realities and challenges. The four days flew by all too fast in a setting that was altogether pleasant not only for the views of La Garrotxa and the facilities but also because of the good atmosphere, impeccable organisation, incredible welcome and, above all, what unites us: the desire to continue working to project Catalan abroad.
