BU-IIA Funded Project: A Greener Modern Language Curriculum for Wales: Creative Approaches to Fostering Environmental Sustainability and International Language Learning

Description

Aims: to develop creative approaches to fostering environmental sustainability in conjunction with international language learning. Working in partnership with GwE Global Futures, the project will lead to the creation of research-informed pedagogical resources for embedding environmental awareness in language learning, and the organisation of innovative workshops in Bangor with French graphic artist Anne Defréville, whose award-winning work engages with environmental issues in accessible and original ways.
