On November 2nd, 2019, we organised two public events dedicated to parents and children from multilingual families. This is where our new friend, Urcus, had the opportunity to meet young language users who were both very creative and interested in learning languages!
We were very grateful to our collaborators, The Mitchell Library and the Bridgeton Library, that opened up library spaces for us to meet and have fun. The activities we prepared were developed in collaboration with two creative artists, Elina Karadzhova and Paria Goodarzi, who took the idea of translanguaging and transposed it in new activities, modes and media. Two students studying in the TESOL programme at the University of Glasgow joined the team and engaged with our participants. The activities we used are very easy to set up and useful for both classroom settings and community projects. For this reason, we will add them to the Toolkit. We also include some photos from the event to share with you the spirit of our language encounters!
