Bilingual puppet Lapin will be joining Bilingualism Matters at Explorathon 2014
Only one day to go until one of Europe’s largest public engagement events comes to Scotland, and Bilingualism Matters is thrilled to be taking part. Researchers will be putting on a range of events in Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh, in order to bring their work to the public.
Bilingualism Matters will be available throughout the “Meet the Experts” session in the National Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh) from 13:00 – 16:30 on Friday afternoon. Come along to find out about our work in Edinburgh schools, the major new EU-funded AThEME project, or to chat to us about bilingualism or language learning. The team includes a mixture of researchers, teachers and parents of bilingual children, so now is your chance to ask us everything you ever wanted to know! About languages, that is. Particle physics is sadly not our department…
Some of you may know that tomorrow is also European Day of Languages (for those who did not know, you do now!). We are really thrilled that to help us celebrate, Le Petit Monde puppet theatre will be putting on two fantastic puppet shows alongside our stand, featuring their INCREDIBLY cute bilingual puppet Lapin. The shows are in French and English and are completely accessible to all children, whether they know any French or not.
Le Petit Monde puppet shows will take place at 14:00 and 15:00 in the Grand Gallery of the National Museum, next to the Bilingualism Matters stand. Duration 30 minutes; ages 3+.
