Cockermouth Language Enrichment Event

Date: 2nd July, 2010 (All day)
Type: Workshop
Location: Cockermouth Eco Centre, Cockermouth School, Cumbria

Summary

This year, Routes into Languages is running a new event based at the Eco Centre at Cockermouth School in Cumbria. This event will run similarly to the Language Enrichment Events that we hold at the consortium universities but on a smaller scale, with four schools from the area.

This gives local schools the opportunity to participate in this kind of event without having to travel long distances. It is also positive for Routes into Languages, as it allows us to reach schools which are more remote from the consortium universities.

Please find the draft Programme below. Activities include Language Taster Sessions in Arabic or Urdu, and a Multicultural Market with Chinese and Italian activities.

This event is being organised directly through the school and the contact is Jill Bishop. Please email her if you are a school in Cumbria interested in taking part in this event. bishopj@cockermouth.cumbria.sch.uk
