The new Gijón Town Hall Asturian language department will celebrate the first language workshop for children tomorrow which is being held to get an idea of roughly how many of the town´s children currently in secondary education speak Asturian on any kind of regular basis. The event coincides with a campaign to encourage more children to choose the subject as an option.

The workshops, which will be held in the Asturian People Museum, will consist of traditional games, the showing of two short films; "I know what you need," by Ángeles Cachón and "7337," by Sergio Sánchez, open discussions with local writer, Adolfo Camilo Díaz, and the artist and comic illustrator, Alberto Vázquez. The programme will conclude with performances by the "Nun Tris" theatre group, and the folk band, "Los Cetriquinos."
