Cademia Siciliana


Cademia Siciliana is a transnational non-profit organization founded in 2016 by a group of Sicilian language academics, activists, researchers, and students with the mission to promote the Sicilian language through education, research, and activism. The organization has published an orthographical proposal for the Sicilian language, and maintains several Sicilian language research and technology projects. Including translation and language advocacy projects for several popular applications and platforms such as Firefox, Telegram, Facebook and Android Keyboard.
In May 2018 in order to prepare for the beginning of teaching of Sicilian culture and language in the schools in Sicily the organisation began providing workshops and materials for schools. These programmes aim to increase awareness regarding glottophobia, sociolinguistics, and to promote literacy in Sicilian.
Starting from October 2018, the organization is publishing an edition in Sicilian of the UNESCO Courier, along with a podcast audio companion.
