Event Date: 17/10/2017 16:00 - 17:00

The workshop will engage both children (pre-school and primary ages) and their parents on the topic of bilingualism and code mixing. Through creative collective writing, illustrations and physical theatre will explore myths, facts and creative potential of growing up with two or more languages. Both bilingual and English-only children will learn new words in Polish and English while celebrating the linguistic diversity of Scotland.

The session will be delivered by Professor Antonella Sorace and Katarzyna Przybycien from Bilingualism Matters Centre at the University of Edinburgh.
