Plur>E: Towards a plurilingual whole school policy in European schools

22nd September 2017, 8:30a.m.-4:45p.m. at TU Darmstadt, Wilhelm-Köhler-Saal

At this final conference of project Plur>E (funded by Erasmus+), best practice examples for the promotion of multilingualism in schools will be shared and discussed. Furthermore, project members will formulate recommendations about possibilities and challenges in implementing plurilingual whole school curricula to policy makers and to persons involved in school development. Finally, implications for the further development of plurilingual policy will be considered.

The conference will be held in English and German. The input in the morning will be conducted in English, whereas some of the workshops in the afternoon are in German. Contributions by the audience are welcome in English and German (or other languages if applicable) for both the morning and afternoon and will be mediated.

We invite individuals working in schools (e.g. teachers, school development, school management), educational policy, language policy, teacher education as well as parents and pupils to attend this conference. There is no registration fee.
