Searching for inspiration
This enchanting alternative space we discovered in Berlin, filled with hundreds of illustrated children’s books in every conceivable form, style, and language, has become a vital source of inspiration for the ALADIN project. The learning environment, characterized by a warm and inviting physical space that allows learners to explore freely, holds as much significance as the educational materials we utilize or the role of educators themselves.
Exploring accessible visual languages for creative opportunities
In a world where communication transcends borders, we believe in the power of visual languages to connect and inspire. Our approach embraces the diverse tapestry of artistic expression, blending visual storytelling with language learning to create vibrant pathways for families with migrant backgrounds. Through innovative art-based tools and immersive methods, we aim to cultivate an inclusive and dynamic learning environment that fosters creativity and collaboration. By transforming the way we perceive and engage with language, we open doors to new perspectives and empower communities to share their unique narratives, enriching our collective experience and understanding.
Comprehending the requirements and the context
To create the most effective art-based practices, we have conducted extensive background research to gain a deeper understanding of the context of heritage language teaching in France and Germany. This study offers valuable insights, including case studies and interviews that highlight the needs of both educators and learners, as well as a collection of resources for creative activities in language education.
