Outreach events at General Education Schools No. 2 in Poznan (Krzesiny)

We had a pleasure of conducting two lectures at ZSO 2 in Poznań (Zespół Szkół Ogólnokształcących nr 2 im. Charles de Gaulle’a).

The first lecture was conducted with students of the Charles de Gaulle Group of General Education Schools No. 2 in Poznan (Krzesiny). It was entitled “Investigating multilingualism across linguistic domains: The ADIM Project” and prepared by our post-docs (Chloe Castle, Marta Velnic, Hanna Kędzierska and Krzysztof Hwaszcz). It was directed at high school students who learnt more about the scope of ADIM project, the studies which we conducted so far and linguistics in general.

The second lecture was conducted with parents of students of the Charles de Gaulle Group of General Education Schools No. 2 in Poznan (Krzesiny).

Prof. Magdalena Wrembel and Prof. Anna Balas gave a lecture entitled “Multilingualism: Facts and myths, benefits and challenges in the context of education” at a meeting with parents of the school’s students. The lecture was aimed at introducing issues related to linguistic diversity, the benefits of multilingualism and bilingual education. In addition, the speakers presented the assumptions of the ADIM project and the importance of the results of the ongoing research for society. The meeting was attended by about 300 parents.
