'Let's Celebrate' - Mother Language Day!

Article dated: 09/02/2021

What better way to observe Mother Language Day in Liverpool than to celebrate the amazing tapestry of languages within our City?


EMTAS and the Modern Foreign Languages Team in School Improvement Liverpool have planned an action packed week! Why not join us for a week of lunchtime story sessions delivered in lots of different languages!

 

The story sessions are suitable for children age 3- 7 years. Children must be accompanied by a parent, carer or other supervising adult.


We have over 100 languages spoken across our schools in Liverpool. Sadly, we won't be able to showcase all of our languages this time, but please look out for our 'Tapestry of Languages' event during the Summer term!


Don't forget to check out our session at 13.00 on Thursday 11th February. Zi Lan, from Pagoda Arts, will be telling us all about Chinese New Year. This session will be delivered in English and is suitable for children age 5-9yrs!

 

Get involved!

 

Levi Tafari launched our week yesterday in true Levi style! Watch his inspiring performance here.

 

You can get involved throughout the week by signing up to our dedicated zoom sessions! Find out more by downloading our programme.

 


International Mother Language Day is observed each year on February 21st! This year's theme is 'Fostering multilingualism for inclusion in education and society'.
