What's happening in the North West?

Routes into Languages North West, also known as the Community and Lesser-Taught Languages (COLT) Project, aims to promote and facilitate the teaching and learning of community and lesser taught languages in both mainstream and supplementary schools. We also work to promote all Languages more generally and encourage students to continue with their Language learning throughout school and into university.
