EUROPE'S LANGUAGE VILLAGE: The Journey to Multilingualism Starts Here!

 Language Week, 15 set 2025 - 07 out 2025, CHIARAVALLE AN, Itália

The aim of the project was to explore the customs, cuisine, geography and some linguistic expressions of seven European countries — each chosen independently by our seven Secondary School classes — and to create a “real” interactive European Village. The initiative drew inspiration from the Montessori method, turning students into the protagonists and creators of knowledge, based on experiential learning and self-education. The organizational phase involved students from all three school levels — preschool, primary, and lower secondary — within our institute. Secondary School Students acted as "language ambassadors" and guides, independently setting up interactive stands dedicated to European countries (Spain, England, Germany, France, Greece, Norway and Poland). They dressed up in traditional costumes, performed mini-dialogues, danced, designed games, quizzes and materials, transforming the environment into a stimulating "village". Primary School Students participated as "experiential tourists". They visited the seven European Countries, equipped with a personalized "language passport" to collect stamps, signatures, and new words at each stand. Kindergarten Students contributed to decorations and learnt basic greetings and songs.
