Per Noste

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Per Noste is an association founded in Orthez in 1960 under the name Per Nouste ("For us"), which is committed to the preservation and promotion of the Occitan language of Gascon (also known as Gascognic ) and the culture of Gascony.

Its founding president is Roger Lapassade. The 26 founding members include Robert Darrigrand, Pierre Tucoo-Chala and Xavier Ravier. In 1965 Michel Grosclaude joined the association. The association quickly developed a lively publishing activity, especially in the field of language teaching materials.
Until 2009 he acted as a section of the Institut d'Études Occitanes for the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department . He initiated and supported numerous projects (“Calandreta” primary school with Occitan language of instruction, the well-known music group “Nadau”, the radio station “Ràdio País”, the “Ostau Bearnés” in Pau ...)
