About the workshop

Maintaining home languages whilst fostering the school and community languages, and making sure that our children will not only speak but also be able to read and write in all their languages requires strategies, consistency and flexibility.

During this online workshop, Ute Limacher-Riebold will share insights into the latest scientific findings, as well as her own experience and the one of her clients. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A so Ute can answer your questions about how to best support your children's multilingual journey.

Who is this workshop for?

Anyone who is interested in the topic with a specific aim towards parents or soon to be parents who are raising their children around multiple languages.

We want this workshop to answer your questions about the topic, so in the registration form let us know what you would like to learn! Ute is happy to share her knowledge and expertise!
