Event Date: 26/09/2024 11:00 - 12:00

SCILT’s Language Ambassadors Online Programme 2024-25 is kicking off in style with a special European Day of Languages edition! This takes place on Thursday 26 September 11.00 – 12.00. The session will take place on Microsoft Teams. For more information and to book to bring your class(es) along, visit the website (link above).

Following this session, we will once again be offering interactive monthly online sessions led by student Language Ambassadors from universities across Scotland. All of these sessions are designed to promote languages to young people and to encourage learners to choose languages as part of their learning experience by hearing directly from near-peer role models. Our Language Ambassadors are students of various languages on a range of degree programmes who are keen to share their experiences of learning languages and discovering new cultures.

Please note: Some universities are also able to offer in-person Language Ambassador visits to individual schools throughout the year. These allow the opportunity for language students to deliver presentations, participate in discussions and support events in schools. These are arranged directly between schools and universities; you can find the relevant contact information for each university, as well as answers to some questions that you might have about the online programme on the Language Ambassadors Programme webpage.
