Coventry, England
Joined February 2021
🇪🇺 🇪🇸 Thursday was the European Day of Languages, but trying to celebrate all of Europe’s languages in one day seemed to us an insurmountable challenge! So we were delighted to join our friends at @consejeriauk to round off the celebration at the Goethe Institut (@GI_London1).

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming incredible young linguists from @FinhamPrimary @MountNodSchool and @parkgatecov . Thank you to all who helped to make the day such a success.
What a great day local primary schools had at today’s @WarwickSMLC Spanish day in conjunction with @consejeriauk @LearnCyL @AccEducativaExt @covlanguages The escape room with boxes filled with exciting goodies from Spain was one of many highlights!

I teach many children who are, or whose families are ‘immigrants’. These children and their families are amazing - hard working, resilient, polite, and are a great asset to our country. @covlanguages are working to unite communities to not see each other as enemies #BBCDebate

So great that Baroness Coussins has been advocating for languages and that she was able to incorporate some of the ideas that the 4 cities of languages (Coventry, Newcastle, Portsmouth and Manchester) presented at @APPGML recently. Working together can start to make a difference!
Sixth, capitalise on the human resource that are the two million bilingual students in our schools. Their multilingualism can be nurtured and supported and students encouraged to gain qualifications where possible, for their own benefit and that of their schools. 7/7

Such a great speech by Baroness Coussins. We were honoured to have been part of the Cities of Languages meeting at the House of Lords a few days previously. #LanguagesMatter #CoventryCityOfLanguages
Watch 👀 Baroness Coussins speak in the House of Lords yesterday on the importance of language skills for the economy and individuals' quality of life (6 mins). 🚨She calls for six key areas for urgent govt attention. https://t.co/ovbeqT1W1i 1/7
