Words that fly

 Quiz/Game, 24 Sep 2024 - 27 Sep 2024, Tirana, Albania

Based on the Homerian expression “ἔπεα πτερόεντα - flittering words”, that is to say words that are transmitted through the wind and dispersed, our 7- 17 year- old students are included in an amusing linguistic game. Divided into two teams, they make up model airplanes and write on them words and expressions of all the languages they know, not only foreign languages, but also in their mother tongue or even its dialects. This culture, this linguistic richness, that is presented on each model airplane, follows a route that targets the opponent team. Then both teams collect the model airplanes of their “opponents” trying to understand the words in as many languages as they can and list out the most possible of them. All this linguistic treasure “opens its wings” in our school’s corridors, having “crazy flights” in our students’ mind, heart and mouth.
