AT EDELC, WE HAVE A BLAST, TOO!
EDELC Cultural and Leisure Activities
Although EDELC will be held online, that doesn’t mean that social interaction will be overlooked! One of the goals of EDELC is to create a support network of people from all over who have an interest in Catalan linguistics, and that’s why we are offering the following cultural and leisure activities:
- Sunday, July 18th, 8:30pm-9:00pm
Welcome concert by Salvatge cor
- Tuesday, July 20th, 9:30pm-10:30pm
EDELC Quiz, a very clever question and mental-exercise game that will put attendees’ mental agility and linguistic and cultural knowledge to the test.
- Saturday, July 24th, 7:00pm-8:00pm
There will be two simultaneous, one-hour activities. Each attendee will be able to choose the activity they would like to participate in:
Workshop 1) Cooking Workshop with Esperança Serra
We will be preparing a couple of recipes to make together: “mongetes escaldines” (blanched and seasoned green beans); “granada d’albergínies” (eggplant omelette); “ous amb tomàtiga” (eggs with tomato); and “amargos de coco” (Menorcan coconut cookies). These recipes are intended to help make the most out of leftovers! It’s just like our grandparents used to say: waste not, want not. Each year, tons of food waste are created, and if we went back to these old recipes, we could learn how to make the most out of all that we have at home. That’s why in this workshop we will learn to make a few dishes with things that we probably already have at home, just like how the majority of Mallorcan recipes are made.
Workshop 2) “Gloses”
We will be giving a brief introduction to the history and universality of the “glosa” (improvised oral poetry), and we will be explaining the different structures (“quartetes”, “gloses”, “dècimes”), as well as playing with rhyme, metre, the creation of ideas, etc.
