Efforts to promote and normalize the Catalan language have emerged through academic, institutional, and cultural channels.

Psychologists Ferran Suay and Gemma Sanginés released a guide titled ‘Sortir de l'armari lingüístic’ to address the social and psychological stresses of Catalan speakers and provide advice on navigating linguistic marginalization. In tandem, the Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística (CPNL) initiated the ‘El català, compartit’ program, which focuses on reinforcing the language in social spaces like sports and cultural facilities through advisory services and community conversation networks.

Expanding into the sporting sector, FC Barcelona launched the ‘Parla blaugrana, parla català’ campaign. Supported by the FC Barcelona Foundation, the initiative uses players from the men’s and women’s teams to highlight the language as a core component of the club’s identity and its importance for social integration.
