Bainvegni tar la Lia Rumantscha
Lia Rumantscha has been the umbrella organisation for all Romansh-speaking individuals and organisations since 1919. It is a charitable institution that is neutral on matters of politics and religious belief. Its mandate under public law is that it should use funding from the state and from the canton to support the Romansh language and culture.
From its headquarters in Chur, Lia Rumantscha supports, promotes and coordinates the work of regional associations, inter-regional bodies and Romansh organisations outside Graubünden. Delegates from these affiliated associations vote once a year at the Delegates' Meeting on the program of work and the budget for Lia Rumantscha.
