Oer it CSLN
The Civil Service Languages Network (CSLN) in the UK is a network for civil servants with a passion for languages who enjoy immersing themselves in different cultures. Whether you speak five different languages or are beginning your language learning journey, CSLN provides the opportunity for language enthusiasts from all areas of government to engage and create valuable connections.
CSLN aims to improve language capability across government, with 41 language groups offering conversation sessions, speaker events and network socials, as well as offering members the opportunity to put their language skills to use on government projects, or by helping charities.
More information about the CSLN is to be found on this British government website.
About Read with MEE
The Erasmus+ project Read with Multilingual Early Education (Read with MEE) will develop innovative tools and resources to advance key literacy skills of young multilingual children (2-6 y/o). The project responds to a pressing challenge, since children who grow up multilingually often face unequal educational opportunities compared to their monolingual peers. In order to support the development of multilingual children’s early literacy skills, the project promotes the use of children’s home languages during reading as well as the use of a dialogic reading approach. By including their home languages in reading, the Read with MEE project focusses on key European priorities, such as inclusion and diversity in education, and the tackling of children’s low proficiency in basic skills.
Read with MEE is a cooperation between six partners representing the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, and Spain, and is coordinated by Mercator European Research Centre.
