The Department promotes activities aimed at citizens and a broad public of non-specialists in order to foster cultural and social development. These activities are organised in cooperation with local authorities and associations (Municipality, Province, Region, cultural and social promotion associations, libraries, archives, museum, etc.). They mainly consist of cycles of meetings on topics such as linguistic differences and varieties, human mobility, literary knowledge, civic education and, in general, phenomena of social relevance that may be addressed thanks to the knowledge of the Department's members.
