Multilingualism in Osijek. Lucide city report

This report aims to shed light on multilingualism and plurilingualism in Osijek and has been written in the frame of the LUCIDE project – Languages in Urban Communities – Integration and Diversity for Europe. In 5 spheres, namely those of education, economy, urban space, private and public life, we analyse how language-related challenges are addressed. In order to do so we conducted interviews with stakeholders and direct beneficiaries from all 5 spheres, but this report also draws on secondary data – primarily the census of 2011 and the multilingual research conducted earlier. The complexities of multilingualism in the city are expressed through accounts of positive practices and policies, but also an observation that many languages are only visible in the private sphere, which represents a challenge that deserves more attention and careful planning.
