Languages open hearts and minds

 Workshop, 25 Sep 2025 - 26 Sep 2025, Buftea, Romania

The students will do some research to discover curiosities and facts about languages. They will search for specific information, answering a set of questions given by the teacher. Then, the students will play a Kahoot, in order to check how many facts they remember. After that, there will be discussions related to the most intriguing facts about languages and to how beautiful diversity is. The students will also write on a Padlet a piece of information that they have discovered and found interesting. Several creative students will also draw a poster illustrating the motto "Languages open hearts and minds", which will be displayed on the walls.
