For #parents: "fostering #bilingualism doesn’t require fancy programs but consistency & genuine value" #Educators: can "change how #multilingualism is treated in schools. . . [by honoring] the full range of #languages students bring, they tell children that every part of their identity matters." 🗣💬

Can‘t stay away from libraries, and finding multilingualism and „traditional tales“ even while on holiday. Loving this reading room in Whitby!

I am on the look out for linguistically diverse picture books. Specifically, books that integrate multiple languages - not as bilingual picture books, but as part of the general narrative. (Bonus if they include more than two languages, but not requirement!) #langsky Please share!

Today is International Roma Day! I made quick visit to our local library and found a little exhibition with books in and information about #Romani and the #Roma people. #Romani (all varieties) is recognised as a national minority language in Sweden since 2000.
