Hoe meertaligheid gemeenskappe kan bou: ’n blik op die onlangse meertaligheidswerksessies vir US-studentegemeenskappe
2023-07-17"Ons doel met die projek was om ’n veilige ruimte te skep waar die gesprek oor taal verruim kon word en waar deelnemers hulle sienings en ervarings van taal en taalidentiteit op ’n meelewende manier met mekaar kon deel. In hierdie ruimte kon hulle saam sowel as van mekaar leer, en in die proses beter toegerus word om potensiële struikelblokke te hanteer wat met taal- en kulturele aspekte in hulle onderskeie gemeenskappe verband hou."

2023-07-17"Our intention with the project was to create a safe space within which to reframe the discussion about language, where participants could share their views and experiences of language and language identity with one another in a compassionate manner. In this space they could learn together as well as from one another, in the process becoming better equipped to deal with potential barriers related to language and cultural aspects in their respective communities."
