Here are some images of our very enjoyable #ThinkLanguages Day held on the 1st December 2023. 

Dr. Pilar Alderete Diez and Dr. Raquel Rodrigues-Fernandez and the Student Language Ambassador Claire giving instructions on how to create your own children's book in Spanish.

Over 150 secondary school students came to the University of Galway to take part in engaging language workshops in    Spanish, German, Italian and French. They had the opportunity to taste languages through playful activities, to meet student ambassadors and to explore the benefits of choosing a university pathway with a language. TY students took part in a language workshop and enjoyed the experience of being a student at the University of Galway. At the end of the day they received a certificate of attendance, completed a quiz, won prizes and ate some pizza! :-)

The event was organized by Dr. Francesca Nicora, Lecturer in Italian, HEI Outreach Officer and Liaison Officer with Languages Connect on behalf of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies of the University of Galway in conjunction with other language lecturers.

The event is fully funded by Languages Connect https://languagesconnect.ie/ - Ireland's strategy for Foreign Languages in Education 2017 - 2026 https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/52f94d-framework-for-consultation-on-a-foreign-languages-in-education-strat/#
