5. At the heart of these policies, three central ideas can be inspiring when working for human rights and fundamental freedoms for everyone around the world: a. Firstly, the conviction that Catalonia has an open and plural society, and at the same time, it has and wants to continue having a cohesive society in which people from all over the world can be integrated. b. Secondly, in a globalized world it is necessary to preserve all languages as a way to protect both the equal rights of all people and the linguistic diversity of humanity. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind the principle of linguistic subsidiarity: "whenever the local language can be used and understood, there is no need to adopt a lingua franca". c. Thirdly, the challenges of multilingualism. The defense and consolidation of one's language are not incompatible with the recognition, learning, and use of other languages, because the management of multilingualism constitutes a challenge that must be properly managed to preserve both individual and collective rights. 6. All these ideas have a correspondence in terms of good practices in language policies, such as: a. The use of the Catalan language in toponymy, the institutions and the public media of Catalonia and its promotion in all possible areas. b. Multiple officialdoms: Catalonia has three official languages: Catalan, Castilian and Aranese. The population can communicate with the public administration in any of the three languages. c. Accompanying newcomers in the learning process offering them several language services. d. An educational system that promotes the use of the Catalan language and aims to multilingualism for all students. e. The application of all these principles to Occitan Aranese as the language of the Aran Valley. 7. These and other initiatives count on a clear consensus in our society. This consensus has to be maintained and renewed. This is particularly important in the current situation with a clear decline in the use of the Catalan language. a. This is why during the autumn of 2021, 85% of the Parliament of Catalonia asked the Catalan Government to promote a National Pact for the Catalan Language that involves the whole of society in the preservation of Catalan language.
