Wow! We are amazed and delighted at the level of participation in Express Yourself: North East Festival of Languages this year. 93,798 children and young people from 428 schools took part in a wide range of free Festival activities and events for 3-18 year olds from January to March. This figure is higher than the number who took part in our first four annual festivals combined.
Designed to spark curiosity, inspire a passion for learning languages and celebrate diverse home languages and cultures, as well as having lots of fun – the Festival also aims to help children and young people build the skills, confidence, awareness and attributes they need in an increasingly interconnected, multilingual and multicultural society.
