THE BEST OF ALLEGRO

500 marginalised learners across Europe are learning languages with ALLEGRO.

Two and three-year-olds, at a parent and toddler group in Nottingham, England, take part in Spanish games and dancing, eat tapas and have their faces painted with the Spanish flag.

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.

Nottingham prison, UK, teaches Dutch, Spanish and Italian.

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.
