Event description

In February 2024, the Global Call to Action for Heritage Language Education was launched, which is an easy-to-use list of recommendations for everyone – from students to mainstream schools to policy-makers – to help improve heritage language and culture education for multilingual children worldwide. Three months in: we want to hear your experiences and ideas so far that have been inspired by the Global Call.

On Thursday, May 30, at 19:00 (GMT, London) / 20:00 (Central European Time) there will be a free, online meetup ("FOHLC Café") for professionals in heritage language education: Anyone interested in discussing this topic and networking with others in the field of heritage language education is welcome to attend!

Remember, the event lasts one hour and starts at:

19:00 GMT/London time

20:00 Central European Time

Program

This time, we plan on discussing: what does your HL program/coalition foster positive values and create a positive environment? What topics would you like to see discussed at future FOHLC Europe conferences? What ideas from the 2023 conference about harvesting resources have you implemented? Jana Nahodilova will guide the discussion.
