Dear all,

 

With apologies for cross-posting, registration is now open for the half-day conference ‘Teaching Drama Through Languages and Languages Through Drama’, taking place at King’s College London on Saturday 12 October 2-7pm.

 

This free event for secondary-school teachers brings together inspirational educators who work in the crossover area between Drama and Modern Languages. How can the two disciplines learn and benefit from one another? How can one facilitate learning environments where Drama and Modern Languages inspire more young people to practice the values of inclusion and intercultural dialogue? Come along to learn, discuss and network with like-minded colleagues.
