THE BEST OF ALLEGRO

"You tell that Commission that we want more Dutch lessons."

500 marginalised learners across Europe are learning languages with ALLEGRO.

After discussing typical courses in Sweden the rumour spread to the centre restaurant who obtained the recipe for a Swedish speciality called Janssons Frestelse. It was put on the menu one Friday in the centre restaurant which caters to about 300 residents and outside users of the centre.

People with learning disabilities in Nottingham, England enjoy singing, ‘I can see clearly now,’ in French and La Bamba.

Parents in Nottingham, England, join in their eleven-year-olds to watch a French presentation, La Courgette Volante, with juggling, unicycles and a talking Mona Lisa.

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN SPAIN

We have completed a total of 16 sub-groups, reaching more than 80 people. We have organised activities in 4 languages (French, German, Polish and English.) We have worked with four organisations in the community, where much of out teaching has taken place.

The project has been reported in national and local media and also in international conferences on language teaching and learning.

This dissemination has made people in Cuenca, in Castilla La Mancha and more widely in Spain aware of the importance of language learning and teaching as a way of integrating people in society and also as a way of learning new ways of life and different cultures.
