Permission to Speak: Amplifying Marginalised Voices Through Languages
As part of our work to shine a light on the complete and often complicated history behind the growth of languages, we've partnered with leading language educators and leaders in 'Diversifying the MFL curriculum' to create a new series that aims to illuminate the often hidden stories of marginalised people and cultures. We've created a resource for each area of focus that includes background information into the topic, key discussion questions, and an activity for students to complete.
