Abstract
This paper introduces the CLASSLA-Express workshop series as an innovative approach to disseminating linguistic resources and infrastructure provided by the CLASSLA Knowledge Centre for South Slavic languages and the Slovenian CLARIN.SI infrastructure. The workshop series employs two key strategies: (1) conducting workshops directly in countries with interested audiences, and (2) designing the series for easy expansion to new venues. The first iteration of the CLASSLA-Express workshop series encompasses 6 workshops in 5 countries. Its goal is to share knowledge on the use of corpus querying tools, as well as the recently-released CLASSLA-web corpora - the largest general corpora for South Slavic languages. In the paper, we present the design of the workshop series, its current scope and the effortless extensions of the workshop to new venues that are already in sight.
