Reviving a culture is no easy feat. Sure, having a cosmopolitan confederation helps out alot, and it certainly makes it easier. But it's still hard work. While the VdAV-DSNP Coalition is looking to revive the Krivian culture from it's dormant and neglected state, there is considerable breathing room. Whether it be the confederation accommodating and supporting cultural revival efforts, or basic groundwork such as supporting the bread and meat of culture, it's enough breathing room to say progress is possible. Slow as it may be. However, it all comes down to language and words. Sure, Krivian is the official language of Vrosnok, and is a recognized language in the Confederation, but does it really matter when not many within Vrosnok itself can speak the language? Exactly. And that's where the VdAV-DSNP Coalition looks to make changes.

For starters, Krivian language classes will be mandatory in primary education. For those who already graduated, voluntary language classes. Furthermore, an expansion on language apps to further promote Krivian learning. Grammer tools, text to speech, etc etc. Alongside this, all state media must include subtitles for Krivian. Sure, not much will be able to understand it at the moment, but the option is there. Practice makes perfect after all. To encourage learning of Krivian, the state will offer scholarships to students who study Krivian linguistics and such. 

But it takes more than teaching a new generation. For the current one, all official documents will also be printed in Krivian. To further encourage the spread of the Krivian language, literature. While it's being revived, it can always use a push. As such, classics from around the world, but especially from the Nadiyan region will be encouraged to be translated into Krivian. This is to be expected when a poet is president after all. As much as we'd all like to wish this effort would be successful by tomorrow, we unfortunately cannot control reality. What we can do, however, is continue developing, fostering and caring for the revival of Krivian. Someday in the future, it'll be the go to language for Vrosnok. But until that day comes, we will have to put in the work.
