Local Research, Local Speakers
Students undertook research to find out what languages were spoken in the school and lots of students and
teachers were surprised to discover just how diverse the languages spoken were, e.g. a school in Laois had 28
different languages.
Schools were encouraged to host their own language-based events – inviting local speakers, student-led
heritage languages workshops, Christmas Fairs, international food tasting, salsa classes, arts and crafts
workshops, podcasts, video clips, and even creating a multi-lingual website promoting local tourism in
different languages.
