Getting to know… Andy Chichester

CIP25Panel

In this edition we want to claim more than ever the Galician language and the people who decide to use and defend it in their day to day life, and within those people, both paleo-speakers and neo-speakers, we find interesting cases like that of Andy Chichester, an American professor who decided to learn Galician language and started using it on his social networks, winning the affection of the Galician internet community.

His commitment to our culture, despite not having any previous closeness, is one of the topics we want to talk about with Andy, who will travel from New York to Carballo to put his knowledge into practice and reflect on the role of language in our lives. All in a conversation in which he will be accompanied by the actor Federico Pérez.
